Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE)

Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE)

The University of Aberdeen is currently NOT accepting CATE applications.

Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE)

The Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE), recognises and rewards collaborative team work that has had a demonstrable impact on teaching and learning in higher education. The team must be able to demonstrate the following:

  • Evidence of excellence in terms of the team’s collaborative approach commensurate with the team’s context and opportunities afforded by it.
  • Evidence of excellence in the impact of their collaborative work on teaching and learning, including beyond their immediate academic or professional area.

The initiative is led by Advance HE and managed by the Centre for Academic Development. The University nominates one team per competition round. Usually, it takes several years of planning, evidence collecting and professional development to devise the application. So, it is never too early to discuss how to get started!
