The Global Mapping report has just been released, offering insights into the evolving landscape of how university teaching is supported, evaluated and rewarded in academic careers. Drawing on interviews with over 130 leaders and change-makers from 26 countries, the report highlights how institutions are reshaping reward systems worldwide. The report is structured in two sections: Section A maps the global movement for change and identifies universities recognised as 'front-runners' in the field; Section B examines how these institutions are addressing key barriers to change. The study was co-funded by a consortium of universities, including Aalborg University (Denmark), King's College London (UK), KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), LSE (UK), NTNU (Norway), Utrecht University (Netherlands), and PUC (Chile).
