Abstract	Throughout the years the European Students Union (ESU), together with many educational stakeholders, has been focusing on student-centred learning (SCL). Constant changes in societal and educational needs necessitate that further emphasis be given to teaching excellence. Inspired by the growing interest and progress in implementing SCL, ESU developed a new project called Peer Assessment of Student-Centred Learning (PASCL), funded with the support of the European Commission. Started in October 2013, the project aims to re-evaluate the progress of implementation of SCL, highlight best practices, and establish peer assessment procedures for the implementation of the concept in European higher education institutions. The project began by conducting a series of research and surveys, analysing state of play, and highlighting best case practices in European Higher Education Area (EHEA), described in this publication. The research is focused on policies and efforts to introduce the SCL concept to three different levels: the European, institutional and student perspective, especially addressing the question of students' motivation in taking an active role in co-creating their learning experience. Each level has been explored separately; the European level through extensive desk research, the institutional through surveying member institutions of UNICA, and students themselves through a survey on their views of the implementation of SCL in the classrooms of institutions in the EHEA. Altogether this has provided an comprehensive overview of the matter. Appended to the report is: SCL through eyes of students. (As Provided).
