On demand
We offer this course once every two years in an LDE context (Erasmus University Rotterdam, TU Delft and Leiden University). Are you interested in a trajectory like this for your own institution or faculty? We are happy to tailor it to your specific needs and context.
Contents and form
The basis of the course is four thematic sessions of 24 hours each, with an overnight stay and four day-long sessions.
- During the sessions both educational themes, such as research-informed teaching and education innovation, and themes related to leadership, such as change management and educational policy, will be covered.
- Alongside these educational and leadership themes, during the course you will work on an education innovation project, with an interdisciplinary character, in the practice of your own programme/faculty.
- In the course you will develop your own substantiated vision for the teaching in your own programme, as well as a substantiated vision of providing leadership in your own teaching environment.
- A study trip will form part of the trip. The most important objectives of this trip are community-forming and familiarisation with current educational innovations, for example in terms of online education.
- A final component of the course is working with other participants to formulate a response to a current policy issue in the LDE institutions.

Registration
For LDE-participants
Deans/educational directors of the LDE institutions may nominate candidates for the Leadership in Education Course. A nomination consists of
- a motivation letter from the candidate
- a brief description of an intended education innovation project and
- a teaching CV.
We then conduct an intake interview with each candidate, aimed at finding a suitable match between the qualities of the participant on the one hand, and the characteristics and content of the course on the other. We record the outcomes of this interview, furnishing it with an advice. We present this to the course's steering committee, which will ultimately decide on the admission of the candidates.
For interested parties outside LDE
Unfortunately, it is not possible to register as an individual non-LDE participants. However, we are more than happy to design a tailored, similar program on educational leadership for your own faculty or institution. Would you like to know more about that? Please get in touch via an email to training@risbo.eur.nl.
