Within the UvA, we stimulate knowledge sharing and expertise and community building with Special Interest Groups (SIGs). Through these groups, TLC Central builds an expertise network focused on shared themes and interests within education, in collaboration with the Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies (IIS).
What is a SIG?
A SIG is a group for educators with shared interests and expertise on a particular theme. Within a SIG, interested parties come together to exchange, develop and apply knowledge and experience. In doing so, a SIG focuses on expertise and networking around a specific theme. Themes educators care about and are relevant to the quality of academic education at the University of Amsterdam. In SIGs, we transcend faculty boundaries and let educators from all faculties meet each other.
Participation in a SIG
Alle interested educators at the University of Amsterdam can participate in a SIG. Participation is entirely without obligation. As an educator, you can join as an expert. But also if you want to increase your expertise on a particular theme, you are welcome.
