Education Focussed Grants

The UNSW Education Focussed (EF) Grants program is a competitive funding program designed for the EF Community to support individual EF academics’ career development. The program enables EFs to apply for support across a wide range of career development opportunities including presentations at education conferences, attendance at accredited courses, career coaching, collaborative and educational seed funding, and other activities that will build capability and generate evidence for professional recognition and promotion.

UNSW EF Academics can learn more about the EF Grants program on EF Central.

UNSW EF Visiting Teaching Fellowships

The UNSW EF Visiting Teaching Fellowships are designed to build the profile and connections of the UNSW education community with highly regarded educators across the tertiary sector in Australia and internationally. Initiated by a UNSW EF academic staff member, these Fellowships provide opportunities to develop educational collaborations and facilitate interaction and engagement with UNSW staff and students. 
Visiting Teaching Fellows are expected to contribute to the educational work of their host’s school and Faculty during the period of their stay through a considered program of events that take place during the visit including guest lectures, presentations, seminars, workshops, forums, collaborative discussions, drop-in sessions, exhibitions, and other formats. Where appropriate, Visiting Teaching Fellows should also engage with the wider UNSW education community through these planned events.
