Day of Teaching 2025

Friday, 21 November | from 1 p.m.

Hohenheim lecturers put their heart and soul into their work. They inspire students for research, make complex content understandable, and show how theoretical knowledge can be applied in practice. They shape the university, but are far too rarely in the spotlight. The University of Hohenheim now wants to change this. The Day of Teaching offers a showcase for this: six new awards recognizing outstanding teaching achievements.

The Hohenheim Day of Teaching will take place on Friday, 21 November from 1 p.m. until approx. 5 p.m. in the State Rooms of the Hohenheim Palace. Let yourself be inspired, get into conversation with your colleagues, and contribute your own ideas to make good teaching visible at the University of Hohenheim!
