Communities of Practice (CoPs)

community of practice icon

UQ has many Communities of Practice (CoPs) for UQ staff to choose from. Some are called Professional Learning Communities, Educational Networks or Learning Circles, but they all have the same aim: to explore the many different angles and practices of a profession or skillset and to learn together.

Participating in a professional CoP can be a great way to further expand your network, learn from other colleagues’ experiences, and maybe even help others grow their skills and knowledge.

The following CoPs may be of interest:

  • Business Analysis CoP
  • Change Management CoP
  • Project Management CoP
  • Procurement CoP - to join, please email procurement@uq.edu.au to be added to the MS Teams group and receive the meeting requests
  • Web Content Community - learn from other UQ web publishers and work towards a best-practice approach to how we manage web content across UQ. Contact Romain Lovisco or Rory Daly to be added to the Teams (site will move Staff intranet on SharePoint in February 2026)
  • BI and Data Analytics CoP - to join email Nick Fitt or Johannes Ambrose and you will be added to the Teams group
  • Community Engagement CoP - a collaborative network designed for anyone across the university who engages in community engagement or is interested in learning more about it – regardless of division or portfolio. The CECoP hosts four events each year offering a supportive space for staff to connect, share best practices, explore innovative engagement strategies, and build capacity through peer learning and collaboration. Members can also join a dedicated Microsoft Teams channel, where they can access resources such as free Carnegie workshops and past CECoP sessions, as well as share information with one another throughout the year. By bringing together diverse perspectives and experiences, the CECoP aims to provide guidelines on best practice community engagement that will strengthen UQ’s community relationships and drive positive social impact.
