Subject development
All UID staff have an individual development plan, IUP,
that is updated and followed-up yearly, and for the teaching staff
the IUP always includes a subject development area or project. To
subject development, all UID staff have the possibility to apply
for funding for artistic development work and for conference travel
to present results of development work. See information in the grey
sidebar to the right.
Staff exchange
As a staff member at UID, there are ample possibilities to have
shorter or longer staff exchange periods for study visits, job
shadowing or guest teaching at the partner universitites in our
networks. Staff exchange is encouraged, so please follow the links
in the grey sidebar, and also on the Grants and funding page, to
explore possibilities.
