The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning approach aims to develop a scientific approach to teaching, inviting higher education teachers to adopt a systematic way of examining their practice. It is known that international research determinants encompass both scientific and non-scientific factors such as language, history or economy. An original format for the professional development of teacher trainers is presented through international networked meetings across three countries. The purpose of this study is to document how the network of international academics is being organised to support the development of its participants. Preliminary findings show that carefully planned out activities support the development of skills and also address professional identity issues. Engagement, reflection and collaboration are key to success in this endeavour.
