Teaching

The Policy Committee on Teaching is an interest organisation in which 22 public Austrian universities are united. Its activities consist of identifying strategic important themes of Austrian and European higher education teaching and learning policies, discuss them within the rectorates, formulate common positions and communicate them to the stakeholders (European and national authorities, stakeholder organisations, universities and industry). A further role of the Policy Committee consists in the promotion of cooperation and developments of best practices between the member universities. The scope includes issues of quality in teaching, the Bologna Process, the National and European Qualification Framework, teacher education and strategies for lifelong learning.
