Peer learning visits: a new phase in COMMIT

A new phase of COMMIT has started!

The first project visit has just taken place in Istanbul (TR) at the Boğaziçi Üniversitesi (26-27 June 2014). The interviews have been very interesting, with the involvement of several managerial levels of the university, administration and student representatives.

This new stage of COMMIT will engage the 12 partners of the project coordinated by eucen and consist of 12 peer learning visits: each partner visits one other and is visited by a different one.

The visits aim at sharing ideas for refining and enhancing the integration of the social dimension into the university strategy, exchanging with others and getting new examples.

Visits will focus in particular on discussing the 4 self-evaluation tools revised by the project management team. The approach is to involve in this process not an isolated person but a group of key people from the visited HE institution, in order to generate organisational learning and enhance the commitment to change.

Two additional visits will be undertaken at the end of the project in 2 additional HEIs where COMMIT has no partners. This will contribute to further valorise the tools and results of the project.

A transversal analysis of data collected from the use of tools and during visits will be produced.
