Tuning projects are powerful instruments for promoting understanding and cooperation between institutions, countries and regions across the world. Organized by and for universities, they focus on developing culturally inclusive student-centred and competence-based learning. Together, the different Tuning projects – and Tuning as a project – propose ways of reaching global consensus beginning from a subject area, an institution, a country and a region. All Tuning projects are characterized by their philosophy of inclusiveness, which means that in the Tuning projects all those interested in enhancing higher education provision become partners who work together towards the common goal. Tuning projects offer academics in all disciplines a common language to discuss teaching, learning and assessment collegially and – to reiterate – involving all those concerned. Finally, Tuning projects are designed in such a way as to ensure sustainability of the initiatives beyond the lifetime of the projects themselves.
