Recognizing the imperative to prepare academics for curriculum internationalisation, some higher education institutions (HEIs) haveundertaken diverse professional learning initiatives to bolster their academics. Over the past decade, institutions have adopted varying focal points and anextensive array of approaches. These range from one-off workshops to extended developmental trajectories, encompassing generic courses to tailoredaction research processes. Furthermore, initiatives have been crafted to include academics from an array of disciplines, as well as those tailored to specificacademic fields.Certain HEIs have exhibited greater success than others in delivering professional learning initiatives that effectively engage academics, cater to theirspecific needs, and subsequently influence their teaching practices. During this session, we will share insights gleaned from diverse professionaldevelopment formats, drawing from both Swedish and Dutch contexts, and encompassing both research and practical applications. We will delve into whatforms of professional development prove effective and the underlying factors influencing their efficacy and invite participants to apply evidence-baseddesign principles in a structured, collaborative case study.
