The fifth edition of the "Talking about Education Across Communities at Helmholtz" (TEACH) community conference will take place from 29 September to 1 October – live in Berlin!
The TEACH conference is a participant-driven community event that brings together individuals passionate about teaching. Teaching staff, educational researchers, training coordinators, and HR developers join forces to share methods, best practices, and experiences. The aim: to strengthen the teaching community across the Helmholtz Association and its partner institutions – because high-quality education is the foundation of high-quality research.
Program overview
This year’s program will offer a vibrant mix of contributions from both the Helmholtz education community (talks, workshops, and a barcamp session) and invited external experts (keynotes and workshops). TEACH 2025 will provide rich opportunities for peer-to-peer exchange and structured professional development.
To kick off the event, we’re excited to welcome Dr. Leah Sharp from the Technical University of Munich (Department: ProLehre – Media and Didactics), who will deliver a keynote (title tba).
Additionally, two half-day workshops are scheduled:
-
Workshop 1: Interactions, Tools, and Methods in Online Teaching
(Dr. Patricia Wohner, Hanke Teachertraining) -
Workshop 2: Effective Use of Large Language Models (e.g. ChatGPT) in Teaching
(Speaker: tba)
The remainder of the program will be shaped by you – see the "Call for Contributions" below for details.
The final program will be published mid July.
Call for Contributions
TEACH thrives on your input. As a small, dynamic community conference, its strength lies in your active participation – whether through talks, workshops, or new formats of knowledge sharing.
We welcome a wide range of topics – if it might interest other educational enthusiasts in the Helmholtz Association, we want to hear about it!
In past years, contributions have covered areas such as transferable skills, open educational resources, unconventional workshop formats, and the use of AI tools in education.
