Staff Week: Planting Seeds for the Development of Joint Learning Ecosystems
Under the theme “Education Without Borders: Planting Seeds for the Development of Joint Learning Ecosystems”, the staff training week will focus on building stronger collaborations in international education.
The agenda will cover a wide range of themes, including Blended Intensive Programs (BIPs), Collaborative Online International Learning (COILs), joint degrees, and micro-credentials. Participants will exchange best practices and explore innovative strategies for long-term cooperation. They will also gain hands-on insights during workshops, expert sessions, and case study presentations.
Beyond the academic program, participants will have opportunities for networking and cultural exchange. Plans include a campus tour, visits to selected laboratories, a group dinner at a local restaurant, and a guided walk through Wrocław’s rich cross-cultural heritage.
The organising team warmly welcomes you to Wrocław!
