Symposium „Campus meets Castle“

As part of the Bavaria-wide joint project QUADIS, a symposium for lecturers and university didactics experts is now being organised for the fifth time in order to intensify the discourse on individual specific topics of digitalised teaching. Together with the partners Centre for Digital Teaching and Learning and the Quality Agency of the University of Augsburg, the next symposium will be held by the Centre for University Teaching at the University of Bayreuth on the campus of the University of Bayreuth and at Thurnau Castle. The theme of the three-day event is: Campus meets Castle - Networked into the future through competence-oriented teaching in the subjects. From 18 to 20 March 2024, up to 100 lecturers, university didactics experts and students will come together to set the course for future developments in higher education. The symposium is divided into three phases:

On the first day, participants will receive cross-disciplinary inspiration for their own teaching through innovative ideas and good practice examples from colleagues. They can choose from over 20 contributions and discover exciting teaching approaches, as well as try out live teaching-learning scenarios such as VR teaching rooms.

On the second day, the focus will be on sharing ideas and developing individual teaching and learning solutions. In the style of a future workshop at Schloss Thurnau, small groups will discuss and concretise their own ideas for digitally supported and subject-specific, interdisciplinary or interdisciplinary skills development. Lecturers will also have the opportunity to have their ideas evaluated from a student perspective.

At the end of the symposium on the third day, the results of the group work will be presented and commonalities between subject disciplines in skills development will be identified. This should open up new perspectives through the networking of digital solutions across disciplines.

The symposium starts on 18 March at 12:30 in the theatre hall near the Audimax and ends on 20 March at 13:00. Participation is free of charge and is also possible on individual days. Lecturers from all subject areas are invited. On the symposium website you will find the link for registration and further details: https://quadis.profilehreplus.de/symposien/cmc
