During the meetings, both educational themes, such as research-informed education and educational innovation, and themes related to leadership, such as change management and educational policy, are discussed.
In addition, you will work on/participate in:
- an educational innovation project, with a cross-curricular character, in the practice of your own program/faculty.
- your own substantiated vision of the education of your own program, as well as a substantiated version of leadership in your own educational environment.
- a study tour. The main goals of this trip are community building and getting acquainted with current educational innovations, for example in the field of online education.
- working with other participants to formulate a response to a current policy issue at LDE institutions.

Registration
For participants from LDE institutions
Deans/directors of education from LDE institutions may nominate candidates for the Educational Leadership Course. A nomination consists of
- a cover letter from the candidate
- a brief description of an intended educational innovation project and
- an educational CV.
We then conduct an intake interview with each candidate, aimed at finding a suitable match between the qualities of the participant on the one hand and the characteristics and content of the course on the other. We record the results of this interview and provide advice. We submit these to the management of the training program, which ultimately decides on the admission of the candidates.
For those interested outside the LDE context
It is not possible to apply for the LOL as an individual, external (non-LDE) participant. However, we can tailor a similar track for your own faculty or institution. Please contact us via an email to training@risbo.eur.nl, and the coordinator will review what is possible and appropriate.
