About Profformance+

PROFFORMANCE+ (2022–2025) builds on the success of the original PROFFORMANCE project to enhance the quality and competitiveness of higher education in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and consortium partner countries. The project focuses on supporting higher education institutions and teachers to improve teaching and learning, reflecting the latest European priorities such as digitalization, inclusion, internationalization, and sustainability.

The PROFFORMANCE+ toolkit serves as a practical guide for higher education professionals, helping them navigate EU/EHEA-level recommendations and integrate them effectively into daily teaching practice. The project’s assessment tool, training modules, and a teaching excellence database - all of the 3 following the same structure and theme - support teachers in improving their competencies to develop courses meeting diverse student needs, to apply innovative teaching and assessment methods, to involve stakeholders in the teaching and learning process to get an impact on the society. 

Over the course of the project, several events have taken place to support higher education teachers and institutions and to develop and promote the PROFFORMANCE toolkit:

  • International thematic webinars: where good practices from the PROFFORMANCE teaching excellence database have been presented.
  • Peer Learning Activities (PLAs), during which PROFFORMANCE+ experts came together to further develop the assessment tool and to develop the PROFFORMANCE introductory short courses.
  • Ambassador events at both national and international levels, where PROFFORMANCE+ ambassadors presented the project tools, results, facilitated discussion on teacher assessment and development practices and how the PROFFORMANCE toolkit can be an added value to existing systems.

The PROFFORMANCE HigherTeacher Award Call has been organized to encourage higher education teachers to share their innovative courses, training programs, and development initiatives in order to promote exchange of knowledge and cooperation among HE stakeholders.

The already existing best practice database will be complemented with the good practices collected in the 2024/25 teacher award call, offering accessible examples and insights for teachers, education developers, and higher education leaders.

The Course portal containing open access course for HE teachers will be soon complemented with the newly developed PROFFORMANCE short courses.

As a result, PROFFORMANCE+ delivers comprehensive support for institutional leaders, academic staff, and professionals, facilitating the digital and green transitions, strengthening international collaboration, and promoting inclusive approaches. The overarching goal is to work together to develop a high-quality, accessible, and relevant higher education landscape in the EHEA.
