The Teacher Awards consist of the Teacher Talent Award, for academic teaching who have recently started, and the Outstanding Teacher Award, for those teachers with upwards of five years’ teaching experience.

| Special Interest Groups (SIG) focus on a shared interest of teachers, relevant to education. For example, the SIG SoTL focuses on research into one’s own education and the SIG Research Skills will soon organise a symposium on laboratory education. And are you curious how sustainability can be incorporated into education? Then join the newest SIG: Sustainability in Education! Do you also have a relevant interest and would you like to expand your network? Become part of a SIG, or start one yourself!

| Centre for Academic Teaching changes to: Centre for Academic Teaching and Learning
|
| The Centre for Academic Teaching (abbreviated to CAT) has rapidly become a familiar name in the UU. Following an extensive and successful internal and external review of the Centre, carried out and completed in 2021, it was decided to add the term 'learning' to the name. After all, learning is the goal around which all activities for the teacher and the education ultimately revolve. It is also consistent international practice to include Teaching and Learning as a single term in the name of similar centres.

The Westerveld Framework for interprofessional feedback
To foster feedback engagement, an essential task for educators is supporting learners in receiving, making sense of, and using feedback information. Giving feedback information (by peers, colleagues, and faculty), should facilitate that same understanding and actionability. Dialogue – the ongoing exchange of ideas and information – can be a vehicle for this process, especially in practice settings, where the roles of giver and user of feedback information can swiftly and dynamically alternate. The Westerveld framework contains feedback dialogue principles for both the user-, and giver side of this dynamic process represented by seven central criteria.
