Upcoming Sense-Making Workshop: Co-Creating Pathways for Engaged Educators

Higher education is evolving – are we recognising the full value of educators’ engagement activities?

The Mapping Engaged Educators Career Pathways (Map EEC) project invites you to join its upcoming Sense-Making Workshop on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, an interactive event designed to validate and refine the Strategic Roadmap for Engaged Educators.

This workshop is organised by our project partner the Institut Mines-Télécom Business School (IMT-BS).

What is the Strategic Roadmap for Engaged Educators?

Developed through extensive research and collaboration, the Strategic Roadmap is a practical tool that supports higher education institutions (HEIs) in embedding educators’ engagement activities into recognition and promotion systems. It outlines clear, adaptable steps to implement recognition and promotion strategies that value educators’ diverse engagement activities, supported by practical mechanisms.

As institutional contexts and priorities vary, the roadmap is designed to be flexible and customisable, ensuring it enhances career development, professional recognition, and strategic alignment across different HEIs.

  • Contribute your expertise to shape a practical, actionable tool for HEIs
