Calls for proposals on innovation in education
A number of calls for proposals have been launched to finance innovative educational projects. An overview is given below.
Comeniusprogramme
The Comenius programme enables educational professionals, in the spirit of the programme's denominator, to innovate in their education and to put their vision on teaching and learning into practice. The educational innovation projects financed by the Comenius programme contribute directly to the renewal and improvement of higher education in the Netherlands. The Comenius programme offers grants to Teaching Fellows (€ 50,000), Senior Fellows (€ 100,000) and Leadership Fellows (€ 250,000). The Fellows are distinguished on the basis of their experience and the scope of their impact on education.

Virtual Exchange
On January 2018 we started with the pilotproject Virtual Exchange. Since then tens of students from Leiden University went on virtual exchange, and a handful of incoming students took an online course from Leiden University. To enhance our portfolio we aim to add six more online electives to the portfolio. Are you a teacher? Do you want to develop and teach an online course (SPOC or MOOC) for your own students, and at the same time open it up for international students?
