Claus’ work focuses on research and practice related to quality enhancement in higher education. He has been a driving force behind the formulation and implementation of CBS’ Learning Strategy. He is also director and co-founder of the international academic association (Learning in Higher Education), LIHE. Claus has received several international distinguished research awards and outstanding paper awards. He has been an invited keynote speaker at international quality conferences, and worked as a quality assessor in an international university context.
