CIHE is working in a partnership with colleagues in the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science at the University of Trento (UniTrento). The collaboration focuses on promoting engagement and providing support for staff development for student-facing professional staff and university teachers and impact evaluation.

UniTrento is a dynamic, middle-size university located in the north-east of Italy. Founded in 1962, it has constantly pursued the improvement of the quality of research and teaching and the strengthening of its international dimension, networking with qualified universities and research centres from all over the world.

The strong commitment to international research and mobility projects has boosted its attractiveness and position in both national and international rankings. ARU and UniTrento offer a wide range of subjects from undergraduate to PhD studies.

Associate Professor Anna Serbati, Assistant Professor Daniele Agostini, and PhD student Elena Benini visited us from UniTrento to present at our Pedagogic Research Conference 2024 and meet with CIHE colleagues.

We have agreed to collaborate to assist colleagues in advancing their pedagogic research with a particular focus on staff development for student-facing professional staff and university teachers at ARU and UniTrento, and impact evaluation. In support of this initiative, we have agreed to meet regularly and present at CIHE’s monthly meetings.
