Subteams
The Biosciences Educational Institute has several specialised subteams. Each team focuses on a different key area to give students and teachers the best support.
Education Team Biosciences plays a central and proactive role within the Education Institute Biosciences. As a team we:
- join in the discussion on the mission, vision and policy, and the curriculum.
- innovate and develop biology education across the entire curriculum together with teaching staff, and we support teachers in implementing these plans.
- coordinate learning trajectories, courses and activities focussed on personal and professional development (PPD) and career orientation.
- organise or support in activities aimed at getting high school students enthusiastic for biology.

The tasks and activities of the internship coordinators are still evolving. The first task is to evaluate and approve internship proposals for Bachelor's and Master's internships. An important goal is to improve the provision of information for Bachelor's and Master's Internships, for both students and supervisors.
The coordinators aim to create an internship database showing internship vacancies and possible departments a student can contact. Furthermore, they want to ensure students and supervisors can find all important information, procedures and guidelines concerning internships on a single website.
