Funding Programme "Gute Lehridee"

Description:

The "Gute Lehridee" (support of new teaching approaches) funding programme supports teaching staff in implementing new teaching approaches.

Funding is provided for the innovative development of teaching. Your new approach should make didactic sense, go beyond your existing normal courses and, if possible, serve as a model for others. If you like, you can incorporate e-learning elements.

If you would like to try out the possibilities of LEA, LEXA or e-learning in general, or use them more intensively, the e-learning team will train your student assistants!

Funding is provided for an assistant (SHK or WHK) for up to 6 months (max. € 3,325). The support staff member must start work this year (2026).

How to apply:

To apply for the funding programme, please upload an idea sketch with a funding plan of max. 2 pages in PDF format by 30/4/2026 using LEA, the submission tool below and add your details to the table.

Your outline (1-2 pages) should include:

• Description of your current situation in the course
• A description of your innovative teaching idea
• The intended improvements and objectives of your planned activities
• Description of how you intend to use your student assistant
• Funding plan: Please inform us about the required funding amount, the weekly hours of the SHK/WHK, the temporal scope (1 - 6 months) and, if possible, the start date of the SHK/WHK.

Please note:

The funding programme is primarily aimed at testing innovative ideas in teaching and providing new impetus; long-term funding is not provided for.

If you receive funding, you agree to provide us with a brief report or similar account of your innovative teaching approach and your experiences once the project has been completed. We will then publish your findings on our website and on social media.

If you have any questions about the funding programme, please contact Ms Veronika Trimpop.

We look forward to receiving your applications and wish you every success!
