Spark Initiative - Change One Thing ​ 

The 2025 SPARK Initiative aims to support individual staff and teams in implementing small-scale Teaching and Learning enhancement projects.  The idea behind SPARK is to identify one aspect of your Teaching and Learning that you would like to enhance and to begin to address this issue with a starter project that creates opportunity to build on the project beyond the funding timeframe. The funding’s motto captures the spirit of the initiative: ‘Change one thing’. 

Theme and Funding

The theme for this year’s SPARK call is the same as the T&L Fellowship 2025-26 theme: ‘Empowering Teaching and Learning Practice’.
 
This year there are up to 10 grants of €1,000 available for individuals/teams.

The 2025-26 SPARK Initiative is a rolling call which is open until August 30th 2025, or until all of the SPARK awards are made.

Full details on the SPARK call and Application Process are available in the tab below.

A SPARK 2025-26 Information Session will take place online on Thursday, March 20th from 12.00 - 1.00 pm. You may register here.
