Introduction

The Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) initiative is funded by HEFCE and is the largest ever single funding initiative for teaching and learning

There are nine Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning that have joined together to form a proactive and productive East Midlands CETL Network. There are based at the Universities of Leicester, Loughborough, Nottingham and Nottingham Trent.

The Network has a common goal of enhancing the student experience, and its primary aims are to promote sharing of best practice, innovation, reward and recognition of practitioners in teaching, learning and pedagogic research. The investment into the region of over £31 million through the funding of these CETLs provides a unique opportunity for collaboration in order to maximise the impact of the work of the CETLs, not only within the participating Universities but also regionally and nationally.

The EMCETL pedagogic research network aims to support people working as pedagogic researchers and evaluators within EMCETLs and to provide a forum for learning about and sharing pedagogic research practice. For more information about our activites and to join the network look here.
