The Arqus Teaching Excellence Award is a prestigious accolade that recognizes educators within the Arqus European University Alliance who demonstrate innovation and excellence in their teaching practices. This award celebrates initiatives that foster inclusive, student-centered learning environments, promote research-informed teaching approaches, and empower students from diverse backgrounds to thrive in dynamic educational settings. 

Each year, the award honors teaching projects that embody core criteria such as student-centered teaching, effective assessment strategies, integration of international perspectives, transferability, adaptability, and demonstrable impact on student learning. Winners are celebrated at the Arqus Annual Conference and receive a monetary prize to further advance their teaching initiatives and promote excellence in higher education.

By acknowledging and supporting outstanding pedagogical practices, the Arqus Teaching Excellence Award aims to inspire educators across the alliance to continue enhancing the quality of teaching and learning, ultimately benefiting the diverse student communities they serve.
