Teaching in Dialogue

Dialogue formats and events encourage the exchange of experiences and ideas between stakeholders of TU Graz. The events are an essential part of the Vice Rectorate for Academic Affairs' information and communication strategies to support and advance high-quality teaching.

The dialogue formats and events Students’ Workshop with Vice Rector Vorbach, LEHR-Stammtisch (teachers’ discussion group), the Think Tank, and the Lunch & Lehre (Lunch & Teaching) events were created to meet the needs of different target groups and encourage participants to exchange experiences and ideas.
