Introduction The Community for Learning and Innovation (CLI) is a network organisation that focuses on innovating and
improving education. The CLI creates a connection, shares knowledge and promotes and facilitates
educational innovation. Teaching staff and the faculty Learning Innovation teams can use the Education Lab
and receive, demand-driven and customised, professional training and support in line with their own
innovation projects. The CLI also supports students who set up projects themselves for the purpose of
enriching their education. The CLI annually appoints ten CLI fellows who have a leading role within their
faculty in the area of education innovation, and perform research into this area.
Faculties (LI teams, teaching staff and students) can apply to the CLI for the following themes:
- Professional development of teaching staff: training EUR teaching staff in a stimulating, inspiring
manner on a continuous basis (on top of the UTQ/BKO, SUTQ/SKO, Educational Leadership
Course/LOL) so that they are and remain continuously involved in strengthening the quality and
innovation of the design and performance of their education and continuously adjust their
education in line with changes in society, new didactic insights provided by science and practice,
and new technological possibilities.
- Education innovation and digitisation: support when redesigning education and assessment and
multidisciplinary support and incentives for digitisation of education.
- Education research: promoting research into education innovation concerning all CLI themes. These
lead to publications and input for new developments and policy in the area of education, and
contribute to the quality culture.
- Student projects: projects at the initiative of students for the purpose of enriching and innovating
education.
EUR strategy is the leading policy framework, in particular the first three educational themes of the
(national) quality agenda (Hoger Onderwijs Kwaliteits Afspraken, HOKA):
1. Personal and professional development of students
2. Investing in innovative capacity and teaching careers
3. Investing in personal learning through online facilities
4. Student well-being
5. Creating impact at the core
6. Innovative space
The Communities that are set up around these themes are linked to the CLI. This applies in particular to
the first three themes that are shaped together with the faculties and are financed in part with HOKA
funds. The other themes can also be connected to the CLI if this leads to added value for EUR. As
regards the sixth theme, innovative space, the line of thought is that a solid coordination relationship
with the CLI is important. This theme requires space to develop and to be innovative and exploratory,
which means that the relationship must certainly not be constricting. In view of the shared focus on
innovation and renewal, we expect that a close cooperation will be established and that projects and
practice will be shared and connected.
The connection with the faculty LI teams is reinforced within the context of the EUR strategy. There is
also close cooperation with the CIO office and Professional Services in order to implement the
Digitisation Master Plan. This process is facilitated by a small core team. The core creates financial and
4
other possibilities, offers instruments for quality improvement, promotes movement, connects people
and ideas, and provides the stage on which best practices can be presented and shared. The faculties
expressly remain responsible for the quality and innovation of education. The CLI thus promotes future-
oriented education and is therefore very valuable to this strategic spearhead of the EUR.
The CLI was formed in 2017 and will be continued from September 2019 up to and including 2023 as
strategic programme within the EUR strategy. A plan for sustained embedding of the CLI is created
within the programme period. Embedding will be realised before the end of 2023. The CLI governance
will be adjusted effective as from September 2019. The new organisational image looks as follows:
Figure 1: CLI organisation structure and relationships with relevant parties
Explanation to the new governance:
The Rector Magnificus is the principal of the academic director who has overall responsibility for the CLI
on behalf of the Executive Board. The academic director is assisted by the programme manager at the
management level. They jointly conduct the management of the CLI. The Executive Board intends to
conduct a bilateral consultation with the CLI twice per year.
The academic director supervises the core team that arranges for the day-to-day affairs, including in the
Education Lab. The student representative is a member of the core team. The core team forms the basis
of the programme team that meets regularly. The project leaders and academic sponsors (directors of
education) of three CLI themes (Professional development of teaching staff, Education innovation and
digitisation and Education Research) are also invited to join this team. The liaisons for EUR strategy and
HOKA (from Academic Affairs) and the digitisation masterplan (from the CIO office) also form part of
this team. The members of the programme team jointly form the driver of all CLI activities.
The academic director coordinates with the line at the strategic and tactical level (faculties, Academic
Affairs, CIO and Professional Services). The monthly meeting of the directors of education is the main
sounding board for the academic director. The CLI management organises an education innovation
consultation with the managers of the faculty LI teams, the project leaders of the CLI themes and the
5
liaisons from Academic Affairs and CIO. Project proposals and projects are discussed, considered and
monitored during this consultation. The programme steering group that operated from 2017 will cease
to exist.
The academic director furthermore coordinates with the communities (the three purple orbs) that are
shaped around the strategic education themes (within HOKA). The Executive Board appoints an
academic lead for each community. Directors of education, policy employees, teaching staff, students
and external experts will also have an important role in these communities. The communities feed the
CLI with ideas and may also propose new projects. They furthermore play an important role in
collaborative learning and sharing experiences. The communities thus confirm the role of the CLI in the
area of innovation and improvement of education and vice versa. The academic director ensures
together with the academic leads that the education themes of the new strategy and quality agenda
(HOKA) are and continue to be identified properly.

An explanation to the themes and other components is provided below.
Professional development of teaching staff theme
The purpose of this CLI theme is to train EUR teaching staff in a simulating, inspiring manner on a
continuous basis so that they are and remain continuously involved in strengthening the quality and
innovation of the design and performance of their education and continuously adjust their education in
line with changes in society, new didactic insights provided by science and practice, and new
technological possibilities. All of the above in line with the developments at EUR in the area of
education. Three types of activities are organised within this theme:
a st ategi a ti ities to p o ide a fu the oost to the asi ualit of all edu atio /all tea hi g staff at EUR,
(b) strategic activities to increase and maintain the group of education innovators at EUR in a systematic
manner, and
(c) the further development of encouraging policy to offer career opportunities to scientific staff of EUR
in the area of education.
Strategic activities to provide a further boost to the basic quality of all education/all teaching staff at
EUR
In 2018, the University Teaching Qualification (UTQ/BKO) was renewed in its entirety and
structured as blended activating. More than 100 lecturers have since started on the UTQ new
style. The UTQ PBL (Problem Based Learning) will also be renewed in 2019.
So far, 12 MicroLabs have been developed. MicroLabs are short how-to modules concerning
specific didactic issues that build on the UTQ. More MicroLabs will be developed in the coming
years, also for students who will be deployed in the role of tutor/supervisor in education. So far,
the MicroLabs have drawn more than 200 participants.
The CLI encourages that each year at least 25 lecturers obtain the certificate of command of the
English language at C2 level. In addition, all lecturers satisfy the requirement of command of the
English language at C1 level. This contributes to the reinforcement of the English language skills
of lecturers. 5 EUR lecturers have since started a process for English C2 level, and 3 EUR
lecturers with English C1 level. New groups will start in the spring of 2019.
The CLI offers monthly workshops presentation/theatre skills for lecturers. They can work on
their presentation and communication skills in a playful manner under the leadership of an
experienced theatre maker. There is a great deal of interest in this workshop as well.
An online tool is being developed which lecturers will be able to use in connection with the
design and performance of their teaching. The idea is that the tool provides lecturers with
structured and specific information they can use to improve/renew their didactic approach.
A training and qualification process for members of the examination boards will be developed in
the second half of 2019. The aim is to prepare new, but also current members of examination
boards for performing quality control tasks of the examination boards in the area of testing.

Strategic activities to increase and maintain the group of education innovators at EUR in a systematic
manner
55 EUR lecturers have since obtained their Senior University Teaching Qualification (SUTQ/SKO).
The purpose of the SUTQ is to implement education innovation at the level of a specific course.
It is expected that 25 EUR lecturers will start with the SUTQ in 2019. The ambition is that
approximately 200 EUR lecturers have completed the SUTQ successfully by the end of 2024.
Teachers with an SUTQ or a management position in education may apply for a CLI fellowship. A
CLI fellow is afforded the opportunity within the faculty for a period of at most 2 years to carry
out new innovation projects and to perform research in this area with the support of the
programme management. 4 education fellowships were granted in 2018.
The CLI offers an additional incentive for programme directors and bachelor and master
coordinators for the purpose of attending the Educational Leadership Course (Leergang
Onderwijskundig Leiderschap). The main purpose of the LOL is to provide the participants to
implement an education innovation at curriculum level. An English language edition of the
course was completed in May 2019. A new edition will start in September.
It is important that all activities we have formulated above are embedded in policy to offer career
opportunities to scientific staff of EUR in the area of education. Responsibility for this policy lies with the
Executive Board and the Deans. The CLI contributes in this connection where possible.
Education innovation and digitisation theme
The CLI supports lecturers who wish to innovate and improve their teaching. The CLI offers educational
expertise, creative workplaces, an ultramodern studio, and project management for the purpose of
designing, developing and realising innovation projects together with the lecturers. Students who strive
for education innovation may claim support from the CLI.
The ambitions of the CLI Education Innovation and Digitisation Theme can be summarised under the
follo i g t pes of p oje ts:
Type A: Innovations and improvements of subjects and curricula, 30 projects per year: development
blended courses, non-credit MOOCs, educational video and animations, skills training, support
student projects
Type B: More disruptive innovations, 15 projects per year: for credit online modules, for credit
MOOCs, prep courses, premasters, online formative and summative assessment
Type C: Innovations based on technology, 5 projects per year: Artificial Intelligence (AI), chat bots,
seedlink, Virtual Reality (VR) games, simulations, Augmented Reality (AR) apps
Education innovation projects (type A)
The status of the innovation projects under the CLI umbrella was determined in March 2019. The
majority of the innovation projects that were submitted come under Type A (more than 4/5 of the
projects). This makes it clear that there is a great need at EUR to catch up in the area of activating
blended education.
The CLI currently receives one project application per week on average from a lecturer or from the
professional support staff. Most applications satisfy the criteria and are assigned a project team
following consultation with the faculty LI team. Applications that are not in compliance remain in the
application phase/pipeline. If this is the case, project leaders talk to the applicants to tighten up the
application.
9
Digitisation projects (type B and C)
Type B and C projects are usually not received via lecturers. The CIO digitisation masterplan mentions
several projects that are prepared, steered and performed in a CLI connection. This takes place in close
consultation with the CIO, the information managers of the faculties and the services involved (E&S and
IT in particular). Projects are coordinated with the leaders of the LI teams of the faculties within the
Education Innovation Consultation.
The following projects were already adopted by the CLI:
Digital testing: following on from the first phase, in which a facility for 336 laptops was delivered, the
second phase is being prepared, which involves upscaling and improvement of the facility on the one
hand and leveraging the advantages of digital testing for the quality of the education on the other hand.
If so desired, space may be created within the project plan for gaining experience with online proctoring
in order to make remote examinations possible. This takes place following on from EUR s pa ti ipatio in the European OP4RE project.
Better use of educational data (learning analytics): at this time, a project plan is being prepared and set
up in consultation with the faculties. The following activities are being developed: preliminary
investigation at faculties and other institutions, identification of good practices, drawing up a vision
document and having it validated, participation in the organisation of a conference for the purpose of
determining a vision, prioritisation and support, setting up project including management and
connection with faculties and services, drawing up architecture principles, designing governance model
and setting up a PoC for learning analytics. EUR participates in the national Versnellingsagenda
Onderwijsinnovatie met ICT (Education Innovation Acceleration Agenda based on IT) by means of this
p oje t. A o it e t fo a p oje t udget of K€ fo a pe iod of fou ea s as issued i this connection. It is processed in this budget.
Towards digital (open) educational resources: policy and facilities for promoting the availability of
educational resources (texts, videos etc) are being developed together with the University Library and
the Media Support Centre. For example, there must be a sound infrastructure, provided with high-
quality meta data management so that learning materials can be found easily and can be reused. Policy
and support are required as well. These are developed and elaborated together with faculties. The fact
that open sharing of learning materials demands a different approach from lecturers/support staff
means that a communication campaign, in which good practices and copyright knowledge are shared, is
required for this change project. Input from faculties is required when this project commences so that
the availability, deployment of learning materials and context become clear. Follow-up steps are
planned on the basis of this insight. Parallel to the matters set out above, work is being carried out on a
project plan that will be delivered in the autumn of 2019. EUR participates in the national
Versnellingsagenda Onderwijsinnovatie met ICT (Education Innovation Acceleration Agenda based on IT)
ea s of this p oje t. A o it e t fo a p oje t udget of K€ fo a pe iod of fou ea s was
issued in this connection. It is processed in this budget.
Further development digital learning environment with FeedbackFruits: EUR already decided in 2017 to
participate in the Onderwijs Doetank set up by FeedbackFruits for a period of four years. Teachers can
use the additional functionalities opened up in Canvas. In addition, additional functionalities can be
developed within the context of the Doetank. Co-creation with different institutions is fertile for the
further development of the digital learning environment of EUR. An evaluation has to be carried out
10
before the contract ends on 1 July 2021 on the basis of which it may be decided to continue or end the
participation.
In addition to these projects, six new projects were coordinated with the faculties:
- the acquisition or development of a thesis management system, - the development or support of
serious games, - gaining experience with Artificial Intelligence, - the acquisition or development of a
portfolio system for students, - the acquisition of Virtual Classroom software and - supporting the
development of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. These projects were approved by the steering
group at the end of June 2019.
Annex 1 includes a list of the education innovation projects and digitisation projects that are ongoing
and being prepared at this time. The list also indicates whether the projects are financed with HOKA
funds or Study Advance funds (SVM).
Education research theme: Erasmus Education Research
The Quality and Study Success Research Agenda was continued with the CLI education research theme
under the heading of Erasmus Education Research (EER). EUR thus profiles itself as a university that not
only attaches importance to education innovation, but also to the empirical evaluation of the impact of
such innovations. CLI currently finances two CLI Education Research Ambassadors and eight research
fellows within the Education Research Theme, and most of these carry out two-year projects that
commenced in 2019. The Erasmus Education Research database was developed for the purpose of
education research, which makes education data available for the purpose of education research. This
database is updated on a continuous basis. The three PhD projects that are still ongoing will be
completed as planned in 2019, 2020 and 2022 respectively.
Student Projects theme
The Stude ts fo Stude ts S S the e offe s stude ts ith i itiati e a et o k a d suppo t i the area of administration and marketing. S4S has two organisational forms: initiatives and partnerships.
The initiatives are generally small-s ale i atu e a d a e suppo ted ith at ost K€ . . Si i itiati es were supported in 2018. The partnerships are larger and comprise a more structural cooperation
between the group of students and CLI. Once the project proposal and the budget have been approved,
CLI p o ides a udget of at ost K€ pe ea fo the pu pose of suppo ti g the de elop e t of the project. Financial support stops at the moment the project is more broadly acknowledged on campus
and is able to function independently.
In May 2019, the CLI Steering Group evaluated the S4S projects and concluded that the criteria for
subsidising were too strict. The criteria were adjusted, which resulted in a growth of the number of
project proposals.
The Erasmus Education Lab and Studio
The Erasmus Education Lab was opened festively in November 2018. The LI teams, lecturers and
students can use the facilities and services of the lab and the studio in order to innovate and improve
their education. Use of the lab and studio is demand-driven and low-threshold.
The Education Lab is managed by the CLI core team under the responsibility of the management. The
community manager who coordinates the daily course of events within the Lab and arranges for
content management and community building is a member of this team. The floor manager coordinates
the bookings and arranges for optimal use of the facilities. She also organises inspiration sessions and
events at the Lab together with the community manager.
11
The studio is not the responsibility of the CLI but is managed and staffed by the Media Support Centre,
which is part of the IT service. Naturally, the Lab and studio work closely together where it concerns
supporting education innovation.
New activities
The very first 30-hour hackathon took place on the campus in May 2019. The purpose was to improve,
enrich and innovate education with ideas that are developed in co-creation by students and coaches
with different backgrounds. Approximately 60 students and their coaches from different faculties,
including Erasmus MC, ESHCC, EUC and ISS, elaborated three different challenges that arose from the

Explanation per theme
Professional development of teaching staff theme
The purpose of this CLI theme is to train EUR teaching staff in a stimulating, inspiring way on a
continuous basis so that they are and remain continuously involved in strengthening the quality and
innovation of the design and performance of their education and continuously adjust their education in
line with changes in society, new didactic insights provided by science and practice, and new
technological possibilities. All of the above in line with the developments at EUR in the area of
education. Three types of activities are organised within this theme:
Strategic activities to provide a further boost to the basic quality of all education/ all teaching staff
10 new MicroLabs will be developed in 2020. These will be developed on the basis of the questions
from the faculties. One spearhead is considering the development of MicroLabs for students who
are deployed in education as lecturer/supervisor. The ambition is to have the MicroLabs attended
by at least 350 participants by the end of 200 (this number is now over 2020). Teachers who
successfully complete multiple MicroLabs participate in a study trip for the purpose of gaining
inspiration in the area of education outside the EUR.
From 2021 up to and including 2024, 10 new MicroLabs will be developed each year. The ambition
is for the MicroLabs to have attracted a total of at least 500 participants by the end of 2021 and at
least 100 participants by the end of 2024.
In 2020, at least 25 (new) lecturers will be trained within a process so that they have command of
the English language at C2 level. This ambition will be continued from 2021 up to and including
2024.
The online tool for lecturers to be used for the design and performance of their education will be
developed further in 2020 and kept-up-to-date. This also applies to the years 2021-2024.
The first edition of the learning and qualification process for members of the examination board will
take place in 2020. This process will be offered annually thereafter.
Strategic activities to increase and maintain the group of education innovators at EUR in a systematic
manner
25 EUR lecturers will start their SUTQ in 2020. The ambition is that approximately 200 EUR lecturers
have completed the SUTQ successfully by the end of 2024. This means that approximately 25
lecturers will start the SUTQannually.
A new LDE Educational Leadership Course (LOL) will be offered in 2020. The ambition in this
connection is that 5 participants from EUR participate. The course will be offered annually in an LDE
connection thereafter.
Development of encouraging policy to offer career opportunities to scientific staff of EUR in the area of
education. The initiative was taken from the CLI Professional Development of Teaching Staff Theme to
start a working group in 2020 in cooperation with HR that will formulate advice concerning the place of
education in the career of scientific staff. The advice is provided to the Executive Board.

Education research theme: Erasmus Education Research (EER)
EUR profiles itself by means of the CLI Erasmus Education Research Theme as a university that not only
attaches importance to education innovation, but also to the empiric evaluation of the impact of such
innovations. Strengthening education research makes an important contribution to education
knowledge and therefore to the quality of education at EUR. The purpose of CLI/EER is to facilitate
education research throughout EUR and to provide a platform where empiric and other knowledge of
effective education can be exchanged. CLI thus also attempts to create new possibilities for acquiring
additional national and international funding for education research.
We are pleased with the current interest in small-scale, short research by CLI fellows, and it should be
followed-up and reinforced with new research possibilities. Within the context of the new EUR strategy,
the proposal is to:
- cluster education research around strategic education themes
- create possibilities for short-term and long-term research carried out by fellows and students
working for a doctorate
- broaden education research by expressly inviting all faculties to participate
- encouraging cooperation in projects between faculties
- further developing the research database and guaranteeing it via the Better utilisation of education
data project
- also promote the acquisition of external subsidies in addition to the subsidies from the CLI
These ideas will be elaborated into a plan for formulating a new Research Agenda that will focus on 1)
evidence-based education innovations and 2) input for education quality policy (also relevant to HOKA
and the quality assurance criteria). The budget includes funding for research projects carried out by the
CLI fellows1 and for 3 new trainee fellow projects that commence in 2020 on the basis of matching the
salary expenses with the relevant faculty over a period of 4 years2.
1 In addition to the 0.2 fte for the fellow, a modest research budget may be allocated, and it is possible to appoint a student
assistant for 0.2 fte during the project. 2 The faculty pays the rest of the costs, but also receives the promotional bonus, similarly to the previous Research Agenda.
15
Education innovation and digitisation theme
Education innovation projects
Experience from Q1 and Q2 of 2019 shows that 1 new project application is received each week on
average. It is expected that the CLI will carry out at least 50 innovation projects each year. This number
may also increase as a result of the developments set out below:
New Learning Innovation Teams per faculty
Faculties invest within the HOKA plans in setting up and strengthening Learning Innovation teams.
These teams can engage additional expertise via the CLI (audiovisual, technical, educational) for the
purpose of realising the ambitions of the own faculty. LI employees are the first line from lecturers to
the CLI and vice versa. Cooperation creates a strong balance aimed at encouraging and facilitating
education innovation.
Experience-based substantiation of the Digitisation projects
The e ill e a eed fo e pe ie e-based decision- aki g o the asis of the p oposed fu the digitisation of education. Didactical choices, or tooling choices, will be based on experience gained with
spe ifi p oje ts. This gi es ise to a e ha ge et ee g ass oots p oje ts at the fa ulties/CLI a d decision-making at a higher level. The reason being that strategic choices will be based on results and
evaluations of the projects carried out by the CLI.
Student projects and/or connection with other EUR initiatives
Students find their way to the CLI increasingly often. They can apply to the CLI for support during
student projects, from idea to implementation. Positive experiences with supporting S4S or the Honours
Academy are examples of this. The Hackathon projects can be included among these as well. Initiatives
such as the Sustainability Hub have also found their way to the CLI network.
Supporting CLI fellows
CLI fellow projects who have a clear educational innovation component receive support from the CLI
and from the ambassadors in particular. The fact that new fellows are added every six months means
that project support for the fellows will increase as well.
Supporting organisational units that do not come under HOKA
Not all appli atio s a e ithi the HOKA f a e o ks a d the efo e a ot ou t o f ee suppo t f o the CLI, because they do not have a direct impact on initial education, for example. Such projects do
often provide a lot of valuable lessons, and sharing experiences is valuable for the community. Projects
from faculties and institutes that are expected to provide learning outcomes for initial education can be
financed using SVM funds on a modest scale.
Digitisation projects
The CLI will also manage education digitisation projects in line with the Digitisation Master Plan. In
addition to ongoing and new projects from 2019, financial space will be created each year for the
purpose of developing new digitisation projects. The wishes are coordinated with the faculties so that
we can work together on innovating and improving the digital learning environment of Erasmus
University. Space is also created for innovative developments. Separate projects plans, including budget
application, are submitted to the Executive Board for large-scale projects that commenced during the
year, but which have not been included in the budget. As regards 2020, this will in any event include the
project plans for: - digital testing, - acquisition or development of a thesis management system, -
16
acquisition or development of a portfolio system for students, - acquisition or development of virtual
classroom software.
CLI fellows
A separate category was added to the budget for CLI fellows, because we like to see them as one group
(community). The fellows commit themselves to the CLI for one or two years for the purpose of being
active in education innovation by carrying out education innovation projects and/or research projects in
respect of education innovations.
Fellow applications are assessed by a jury under the leadership of the academic director. In case of a
positive decision on the application, the financial scope of 0.2 fte is allocated in the shape of an internal
settlement of the salary expenses with the faculty. The fellow is then invited to elaborate his/her ideas
into project proposals for a new innovation project and/or research project.
The fellow indicates therein what he/she wishes to undertake, what is required of the CLI for this
purpose and what the projects will deliver for the EUR in the shape of results and learning experiences.
The fellow can get started on implementation following a positive assessment of the project proposals.
The fellow maintains contact with the CLI on a regular basis during the projects.
It is expected that 10 CLI fellows will be allocated within the context of the call for the spring of 2019,
which will commence in the autumn of 2019. A new call will be issued in the autumn so that a new
group of approximately 10 fellows can start in 2020. The aim is that the CLI fellows provide a strong
boost to the CLI Community.
Student Projects theme
Enactus was added to the three existing partnerships at the start of 2019. Three new, small-scale
initiatives were started as well. The visibility of S4S has grown in 2019, inter alia as a result of the
Hackathon (May 2019) and the activities during the Eureka week. The S4S team expects that the
appointment of an S4S marketing officer and setting up an incubator for an increase will result in
growth of the number of initiatives. The adjustment of the S4S criteria in May 2019 also contributes to
the growth. It is expected that a total of 13 initiatives are being realised in 2019. The number of
partnerships will remain the same. Enactus has been added, but ECE Students has ended, because it has
spent the subsidy amount. There is at this time no initiative that will grow into a partnership. The fact
that the number of partnerships stabilises has prompted the S4S team to expand the budget space for
ea h i itiati e to K€ . i stead of K€ . . It is e pe ted that this ill e a additio al i e ti e to set up valuable initiatives that are likely to succeed. The initiatives and partnerships can make use of the
Education Lab in consultation.
CLI core team
The CLI is led and facilitated by a management team (positions 1 and 2) and by a core team (positions 1
up to and including 8). The management team receives advice and support from CPC in the area of
financial management (position 8). The following positions are envisaged:
1. Academic director with overall responsibility for the CLI
2. Programme manager for CLI (business operations, with a focus on education innovation and
digitisation and connections to stakeholders)
3. Community manager (senior communication advisor) for communication, and team coordination
within the Education Lab and connections to stakeholders)
4. Communication employee for communication support and events
5. Student representative
6. Project management support (PMO)
7. Floor/office manager for Education Lab & Studio and for the programme
8. Programme controller and programme administrator from CPC
17
Long-term perspective The budget set out above was calculated in a long-term perspective up to and including 2023. No
account was taken in this connection of new, large projects that arise from the EUR strategy and the
Digitisation Master Plan and may be added to the CLI projects portfolio following a positive Executive
Board resolution. No account was taken either of the planning for sustainable embedding of the CLI. The
CLI formulates a new budget each year in which new developments and resolutions are processed.
18
Annex 1: Procedures within the context of the CLI business operations
The CLI welcomes ideas and applications for lecturer professionalisation, education innovation and
digitisation, student projects and research projects. The CLI works in a demand-driven manner, which
means that the faculties indicate their wishes and requirements. See: https://www.eur.nl/cli
Transparent procedures are applied for the assessment of the application given the sources of financing
of the CLI (HOKA budget and strategic funds). The procedures aim to facilitate lecturers in a low-
threshold manner, but also impose requirements on the process. The academic director has overall
responsibility for the CLI and is authorised as such to form assessment committees and to approve
applications within agreed frameworks. The programme manager is responsible for the CLI business
operations.
Education innovation and digitisation projects
Ideas for education innovation projects are registered by means of a fixed format and are coordinated
with the LI team of the relevant faculty or faculties. Small applications for educational and studio
suppo t up to K€ a e ha dled the CLI tea i mediately after a light test. Applications for larger
projects are discussed first within the education innovation consultation. Ideas for digitisation projects
may also be registered via the faculty information managers. Digitisation projects are coordinated with
the education information manager of the CIO office.
P oje t p oposals a e dis ussed du i g the CLI s edu atio i o atio o sultatio . It is assessed whether the proposals are interesting for more than one faculty, whether they are suitable for the CLI
and whether they can or cannot be financed with HOKA funds. In case of a positive assessment, the
applicant will be invited to elaborate the proposal together with the CLI project leader into a fully-
fledged project plan with a budget on the basis of which a budget is allocated. The budget does not
provide for a fee for the lecturers, which is up to the faculties, but it does provide for support and
supervision by project leaders, education experts, media and other trainers, Media Support Centre
support staff, technicians and student assistants. EUR employees are used where possible, but external
experts may also be hired in relevant cases.
The project may be carried out following approval of the project plan and the budget. Projects are
assig ed a WBS u e . S alle p oje ts up to K€ a e e te ed u de the small services denominator.
P oje ts ith a udget of K€ to K€ a e e te ed i a olle ti e WBS of the CLI. A sepa ate WBS number is generated for large, complex and/or long-te p oje ts as f o K€ .
The costs entered under the WBS number must be in line with the approved budget. The project leader
reports on progress at least once per quarter. Experiences are shared upon completion, and an
evaluation report is drawn up as well as a possible proposal for a follow-up process.
The project management officer (pmo) of the CLI supervises and monitors the entire projects process.
19
Sources of financing
Projects that are financed by means of HOKA funds should be reported via the HOKA control
framework; specific requirements from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science apply in this
connection. HOKA projects at the CLI are subject to the condition that they must be in line with the
HOKA plan of the relevant faculty/faculties and/or are in line with one of the 6 educational themes of
the quality agenda (see page 3).
It is assessed whether projects that do not satisfy the HOKA conditions but are in line with the CLI
objectives can be financed from other sources such as study advance funds or strategic funding. Small
projects that are within the CLI budget can be approved as yet if this is the case. Separate funding has to
be requested from the Executive Board for large projects that are not within the CLI budget. All projects
are supervised and led in an intensive manner by the CLI and the CIO office if it concerns a digitisation
project.
Tasks of the Studio
Education innovation projects often include a studio component. It concerns the product of short
knowledge clips or series of knowledge clips to support the curriculum. In order to offer this service in a
low-threshold manner, it was decided to place these knowledge clips immediately and have them
entered under the WBS number of the CLI, provided they have been applied for and supervised by the LI
team of the faculty in question. This means that there is hardly any administrative burden on the
application and settlement process for the studio and the lecturers. Booking the studio and the link with
the WBS number to be used was set up in Planon. The Planon report shows the clips of each faculty that
e e applied fo a d e uested o a egula asis, a d the studio ge e ates fu ds K€ pe ear) for
the additional capacity of 3 fte, which is earned back by the studio via the CLO as agreed. The rates that
a e applied fo e plo ees of the studio is € e ludi g VAT.
Deployment of internal employees
The CLI prefers to deploy EUR lecturers and LI employees for projects that transcend faculties in the
area of lecturer professionalisation, education innovation and digitisation. Fixed hourly rates are applied
for incidental, short-term deployments. The rates for lecturers includes compensation for both the
education time and the additional research time. As regards deployment of at least 8 hours per week
for a period of at least 6 months, the costs on the basis of salary expenses are settled with the faculty or
service in question.
