This report describes the methodology and the results of a workshop on the role of university didactics in bodies of academic governance at the annual conference of the German Association for educational and academic staff development in Higher Education (dghd) in 2019. The workshop was devoted to the question how the role of university didactics in higher education institutions can be shaped successfully. The aim was to discuss university didactics' influence on the strategic development of teaching and learning at the university via the participation in self-governing bodies in comparison to using other paths. One notable insight of the discussion was that the role and functioning of legally proscribed self-governing bodies in institutions of higher learning are sometimes a "black box" for the members of these institutions, notwithstanding the high expectations of their influence on the quality of teaching.
