My Role
I was responsible for the development and coordination of Teaching Quality Week — from designing its operating model and programme structure to delivering successive editions, evaluating outcomes and implementing improvements.
Context
Teaching Quality Week was established as a university-wide initiative focused on teaching quality and the development of education at Jagiellonian University.
Instead of a closed, centrally designed programme, we adopted a co-creation model: units and members of the university community could propose their own events, which we brought together into a single university-wide programme.

Mandate
I received the mandate to deliver Teaching Quality Week from the Vice-Rector for Education. The starting point was the idea of a university-wide initiative; its operating model, programme structure and mechanism for engaging the university community had to be designed.
Programme Co-Creation Model
Teaching Quality Week was designed as a programme open to initiatives from the Jagiellonian University community. Organizers retained the freedom to create their own events, while central coordination brought them together into a shared programme and provided the organizational framework.
Building the Organizational System
As the programme grew, we developed a system covering event submissions, scheduling, participant registration, delivery coordination, attendance tracking and evaluation. In parallel, I was responsible for the budget, team coordination and collaboration with event organizers.
Programme Development and Scaling
The model evolved across successive editions. The programme grew from several dozen to more than 100 events within a single week, and insights from each edition were used to develop the next.
Coordination and Delivery
Events were developed in parallel by different units and individuals across the University. Central coordination brought them together into a single programme and provided shared organization, communication and participant support.
Ewaluation and Continous Improvement
After each edition, we analysed feedback and survey results, using the insights to inform the development of subsequent editions.
Result
Teaching Quality Week developed into a recurring, university-wide programme combining grassroots community engagement with central coordination. At its largest, the programme included more than 100 events delivered within a single week.
Fourteen Years Later
Teaching Quality Week continues to be organized by Jagiellonian University. In 2026, its 13th edition took place.
The programme continued to evolve over the years while retaining its core idea of events co-created by the Jagiellonian University community and supported by a shared organizational infrastructure.
Same Project - A Different Perspective
Teaching Quality Week was also a communication and creative project. I was responsible for its creative direction, visual identity and communication system.
