The first cycle of the Best Practice Programme in Promoting Academic Integrity during COVID-19 is now at its end.
We are delighted to announce that the Dilemma Game App, developed by the Erasmus University Rotterdam, has been selected as the best practice of this first 2021 cycle. Congratulations!
The evaluation panel was also impressed by several other practices and decided to commend nine more practices. Find the full list below.
An award conference will be held on December 7 with representatives from commended and the awarded institution, which will share their best practices with higher education policymakers, representatives from the European Higher Education Area as well as the wider public.
The call was launched with the aim of identifying, publicly recognising and disseminating relevant practices across Europe. A total of 46 higher education institutions applied from 23 member States, and the project Steering Committee appointed an evaluation panel of seven members to proceed with their review and the final selection. The evaluation panel consisted of representatives from the academic community, public authorities, the European Students Union, the recognition community and the Council of Europe secretariat. Each practice was assessed according to six criteria: stakeholder participation, values-based, efficiency, effectiveness, replicability, and sustainability.
