The deadline for nominations is 9 October 2023
The award is presented annually and goes to one or more initiatives that have been implemented and carried out by one or more academic group(s) within one or more study environments at Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences. The funds (which in previous years have been around NOK 100,000) are to be used to further develop the initiative that is the basis for the award and must be used by the end of the following year. The award is presented at the university's annual celebration. The award includes a certificate. The faculty reports on the use of the funds in its annual report.
Nominate yourself and your academic community, or others who deserve it!
Each autumn, the award is announced, and you are encouraged to nominate yourself, an academic community, a student environment, a study programme or a colleague who you believe has done an especially good job with their teaching approach or has contributed to improving the quality of teaching — and who deserves some extra recognition.
Proposals for candidates
Students and staff at INN can propose study environments/academic groups within one or more study environments as candidates for the award. The proposal must demonstrate how the initiative meets the above criteria. It should include a description, evaluation, and documentation of the initiative and its achieved results.
