Freiburg (GER)/ Barcelona (E)/ Amsterdam (NL), March 2025 – (by Tanja Kraemer-McCaffery, Gemma Mas Crespo, Peter van Baalen) Within the last three decades, we have seen big changes within the teaching and learning sector of Higher Education organisations in Europe. Starting from the Bologna reform in 1999, there has been a growing focus on mobility and internationalisation, quality management, and an explosion of diverse and specialised course programs, including in continuous education, flanked by an ever-increasing and ongoing digitalisation. These developments have led to new areas of activity for faculties and teachers as well as to the proliferation of new professional roles within the university.
