Didactics Café

The Inter-Departmental Exchange and Networking Format for Teaching Staff of the St. Pölten UAS

At least once per semester, interested lecturers from all disciplines meet in a relaxed setting.

Short impulses on particularly successful course concepts enable an intensive exchange of experiences. The objective is for lecturers to leave the Café with new ideas and inspiration for their own teaching.

The next edition of the Didactics Café is dedicated to cross-cutting issues like sustainability and gender & diversity. Details will be announced soon.
