Call for projects Training – I-Site Excellence Program
As part of the I-SITE Excellence Program, the University of Montpellier is launching a call for "TRAINING" projects that build on the programs that have contributed to the implementation of an ambitious educational transformation policy (Take-off). Open to all teaching teams from the UFRs, Schools, and Institutes of the member institutions of the I-SITE consortium, this call for projects aims to continue supporting newly created courses, improve existing courses, and promote the internationalization of training programs.
Objective
Several recent evaluations (I-SITE, HCERES) and developments (EPE, new accreditation) have affected the training landscape. A few months after these stages, which required concentration and inventiveness, the teaching teams were able to take sufficient step back to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the training programs and systems put in place and to consider areas for improvement. In line with the programs that have contributed to the implementation of an ambitious educational transformation policy (Take Off #1, #2, #3, and #4), the aim of this call for proposals is to consolidate our actions by:
- continuing support for newly created courses;
- improving existing curricula, including through innovative teaching approaches;
