Freie Universität Berlin values excellent teaching, as it forms the basis for our students’ educational success. This is why we strive to convey its importance within and outside of the university. We promote an academic culture in which outstanding teaching aptitude and high-quality teaching are celebrated. Not only that, but we also develop a varied system of incentives to encourage quality, creativity, and innovation in teaching, and reinforce teaching qualifications as an integral component of academic qualifications. Freie Universität Berlin believes that good teaching is a joint effort that relies on active participation and a respectful dialogue about our successes and failures, learning outcomes, and plans to continuously develop university education. The university’s different status groups are engaged in a constructive dialogue with one another and operate on equal footing. Our educational community is supported by a wide array of formats for communication, networking, and interaction.
