The week of 15 April 2024 will not be a traditional teaching week. Instead, we will once again have a reading week. Take the opportunity to engage in activities that will deepen your professional competencies but are challenging to fit into your regular schedule.
Reading Week is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in reading long-postponed literature, attend a Teachers' Week event or spend a day with colleagues doing conceptual work. You can also organise an extraordinary workshop, conference or (inter)disciplinary meeting. In short, you can devote yourself to anything that does not fit the rhythm of regular teaching or for which space and time are hard to find during the semester.
TIP: If you find a free moment, you should use it to visit the exhibitions hosted by several faculty buildings:
Reading Week has been a fixed part of the semester since 2023. In the autumn term 2024, it will occur during the week of 18 November and will be held in conjunction with Humanities Week.
You’ll gain early access to the platform and have the chance to help shape it before it launches; you’ll be able to try out the AI guide, the learning resources, and the European course database.
Academic freedom, an open working environment, and transparent selection procedures are viewed positively. There is room for improvement, particularly in career development support, administrative burdens, and remuneration.
