Led by Harvard Business Publishing Education, the program aims to provide participants with active teaching skills and best practices in higher education, and to support them in their collaborative work, thereby helping to create a space for growth and innovation within a global teacher community. 

Blanca Sagastume, head of Santander Universities, Open Innovation & Blockchain, stated, “Innovation in teaching skills in higher education really is exploding. With these scholarships, we are setting out to help ensure that this knowledge spreads through universities as practically, substantially and permanently as possible”. 

“At Harvard Business Publishing, our purpose is to help leaders move the world forward. Developing tomorrow’s leaders starts with today’s educators. We’re thrilled to be partnering with Santander on this program and to be enabling educators who are eager to bring innovative and memorable learning experiences to their students,” said Vivek Chachra, Vice President and General Manager, Harvard Business Publishing Education.
