Background to the fellowships

Since 2018, the Thuringian Ministry for Economis Affairs, Science and Digital Society and the Donors' Association for the Promotion of Sciences and Humanities (Stifterverband) have been awarding fellowships for innovations in digital higher education teaching to lecturers who work at higher education institutions that are state-operated in the Free State of Thuringia. The teaching fellowships aim to create incentives for the development and testing of digitally supported teaching and examination formats, to promote cross-university exchange on (digital) university teaching and the dissemination of the teaching innovations developed by networking the fellows, and to contribute to the consolidation of digital university teaching in the universities themselves.
