Have you taken a course that had it all? 

Help us find the most ENLIGHT-ish course at Uppsala University – a prize is to be awarded.

The European University Alliance ENLIGHT – of which Uppsala University is an enthusiastic member – aims to give higher education a career future-proof twist by combining research with real-world challenges, incorporating interdisciplinary perspectives and collaborations across all kinds of boundaries.

Now, creating courses like that is hard work. And, to reward teachers who gives courses like that, ENLIGHT has established an award, “The ENLIGHT’s Course of the Year”.

Time to nominate your favourite?

Uppsala University is looking for the one course that best embodies the spirit of ENLIGHT at Uppsala University, to compete with courses nominated from the nine partner universities in the Alliance. And, hopefully, be named the “ENLIGHT’s Course of the Year”, during the Teaching & Learning Conference, hosted by the Uppsala University from 8 to 10 October 2025.

Nomination closes: 9 June 2025.
