The 2025 Advancing Teaching meeting took place in Copenhagen on 1st and 2nd October, hosted by Aalborg University. More than 50 university leaders and experts from 36 universities across 17 countries came together to share experiences and explore ways to strengthen the reward of university teaching in academic careers.

Discussions focused on a range of topics, including advancing culture change within universities and rewarding collegiality in teaching and learning. The meeting also included a presentation of provisional findings from the 2025 Teaching Cultures Survey, which is capturing and tracking the perspectives of academics at universities working to improve how university teaching is rewarded. The final report will be released in January 2026.

The contributions and insights shared by participants made for an inspiring and forward-looking discussion – thank you to everyone who took part.
