ALTC Promoting Excellence Initiative
Universities have received funding of $220,000 each under the ALTC Promoting Excellence Initiative (PEI) scheme, for strategies that build and/or consolidate institutional systems to support staff to engage constructively with the programs of the ALTC. These strategies are consistent with the objectives and values of the ALTC and support the priorities for teaching and learning of individual universities.
