[EN] The University of Leuven has a long tradition of organizing professional development activities for novice faculty and celebrates in 2013 the 25th anniversary of the training ‘Teaching at the University of Leuven’. Throughout the years this training has had several formats, designs and names. In 2010 a new modular format of ‘Teaching at the University of Leuven’ was launched and it replaced a classic one-year program. Some key elements of this new training format are ‘flexibility’ (participants create their own training program) and the focus on ‘learning in the workplace’ (participants transfer and implement what has been learned to their own workplace and curriculum). In the spring of 2012, two years after the implementation, the training was evaluated. This self-evaluation evoked several critical reflections and challenges to continue the ongoing process of optimization. Expanding and diversifying the program is high on the priority list. ; Creten, S.; Huyghe, S. (2013).
