These are informal get-togethers in a relaxed atmosphere for the members of the Department of Physics and now the wider community as well. We meet to learn about news, practice and theory on educational issues, especially new developments in university physics education, to share experiences and to meet each other. The club has been running since 2019, and takes place 1–2 times per semester. Initially, only people from the Department of Physics gathered, but now we also invite to join interested people from other faculties and universities. The topics of the Physics Department Teachers' Club are based on issues that we raise on a daily basis or that one of us suggests.
