Scholarship Projects for Undergraduate Researchers (SPUR)

The SPUR scheme offers funded opportunities for NTU students to collaborate with academic staff on cutting edge research projects in a shared field of interest. Working together allows for the development of new knowledge that can feed into the curriculum, enhance the student academic experience and be shared with the wider community.

The Seedcorn Fund provides colleagues with a small amount of seed funding for preliminary ‘blue sky’ exploratory Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) projects that have potential to develop into more substantial projects in the future.

Annual Learning and Teaching Conference

The TILT Annual Learning and Teaching Conference (ALTC) is an annual event which showcases innovative practice in learning and teaching, with each year focusing on a different theme. The ALTC offers the opportunity to meet with colleagues and participate in a dialogue that aims to advance the theories and practices of learning and teaching.
