One core activity is the annual three-day workshop that provides excellent opportunities to exchange research findings as well as experiences, ideas and approaches on teaching and learning in our field with a group of like-minded and mutually supportive colleagues. Furthermore, the network aims to support the publication of the contributions in respected journals and/or edited volumes.
