With the development and implementation of our university’s innovative teaching system “The CORE Principle” in 2012 a radical institutional change process was set in motion which comprehensively aligned our curricula and teaching methods to the most recent research on learning processes. These efforts have been recognized by the Stifterverband nominating SRH University Heidelberg for the Genius Loci Preis for excellence in teaching.

The International conference on innovation in higher education is intended to be a platform for knowledge transfer concerning the following issues:

| Research in learning spaces

| Linking physical and virtual spaces to create new designs of learning spaces

| Change Management in implementing innovations in learning spaces
