As part of the Quality, Accountability, Integrity and Transparency in Higher Education (QAINT) project, a workshop was held jointly with representatives from the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology (MEST), public universities, and the QAINT project consortium to co-design the research-based teaching grant scheme. The QAINT project is funded by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) with a contribution of MEST. The grant scheme for research-based teaching will be funded and administered by MEST. The grant scheme is intended to enhance the research-based teaching capacity of young academic staff (assistants and/or post-docs).
