Pedagogy Awards

The EAAE, together with ACE, launched the inaugural Pedagogy Awards in 2024. The Awards are open to any staff who are engaged in teaching on an architecture programme in Europe and whose school has membership of EAAE or associated membership of the EAAE in the current academic year. The aim of the awards is to promote excellence and innovation in teaching and to share good practice amongst teaching staff.

€3000 will be awarded to the successful candidate or team to provide seed funding for their research and development of architectural teaching. The proposal should highlight an innovative approach to teaching. More than one award may be given.

THEME
In preparing applications, consideration should be given to EAAE’s Position Paper on Architectural Education: Alignment with the pedagogical aims of the EAAE

Applications should demonstrate how a pedagogical proposal addresses a connection with these themes. Such as, how you have organised the studio learning, innovative practice in your teaching etc. The official language of the award is English. Submissions can describe a new pedagogical proposal or demonstrate the development and expansion of an approach already piloted.

The Award can be attained by an academic staff individual or an academic staff team and the monetary reward will be used to provide seed funding for the proposal’s implementation. There is a maximum of three submissions per school. As part of the conditions of the award you will provide a presentation at a future EAAE pedagogy workshop at a date to be agreed and/or EAAE annual conference and agree to provide a written article on the work.

All info about the 2024 call can be found here. The first Pedagogy Awards are awarded at the EAAE Annual Conference in Munster in August 2024.
