The strong change that has affected the higher education system in our country in recent years has triggered a profound reflection on the teaching and learning process in general. This transition has given rise to the desire and the need to create organisations capable of responding to the new needs of teachers and students, that can support the design of teaching and learning and innovation as well as support teachers in their professional development. These organisations are called Teaching and Learning Centres (TLCs) and in this contribution we will explore their constitutive and structural elements, starting from an examination of the international literature, outlining some points of reflection for the Italian context.
