Abstract:	Setting up a new COIL can sometimes be challenging. Time constraints, lack of experience, the need for internal consent or lack of resources can be significant obstacles in the development of a new teaching format. For all those facing such hurdles, Sprint COILs can be the answer. This short COIL format that can be incorporated into any course without overriding contracts, and without having to go through the university's internal bureaucracy. All it takes is two initiative lecturers from two universities. Sprint COILs have been developed by the Zurich University of Applied Sciences in collaboration with partners from across the globe. We report from projects with various universities in different countries in order to provide best practice examples. Key themes: • Characteristics of a Sprint COIL • Arguments for introducing Sprint COILs in courses • Choosing the right course • Setting up and conducting a Sprint COIL • Students’ key learnings • Challenges from the perspective of the individual universities in the different countries • Limitations, potentials and outlook Lecturers participating in the Sprint COILs between the Zurich University of Applied Sciences and the six involved universities from China, Mexico, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Switzerland and The Netherlands will share their insights from conducting Sprint COILs in a wide range of disciplines, such as Facility Management, Environmental Engineering and Intercultural Communication. Illustrative examples will provide ample insight into how to successfully set up and conduct a Sprint COIL.
