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!

Funding 

You can apply for an Erasmus+ mobility grant for staff that covers approximately 50% of the costs. You will need to seek approval from your supervisor first. Since the funding for staff Erasmus+ mobility grants is limited, your unit needs to be ready to pay for your travel fully. 

The next application period for the Erasmus+ mobility grant runs from 1 to 15 October 2025. A clear confirmation from the host (at least by e-mail) is required at the time of application. More information about mobility grants can be found at the link below.
