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!
What: Practical collaboration and hands-on experience in the design and implementation of joint educational initiatives.
Where: Wrocław University of Science and Technology, Poland.
Who: Academic and administrative staff from all Unite! universities.
Date: November 18-21, 2025.
Cost: 50€
Registration is now open (Deadline: 26 September 2025). Register here.
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.
Erasmus+ mobility grants for staff
Each school serves its own departing Erasmus staff, and the mobility phase is conducted as normal work travel. Here you can find information on Erasmus mobility grants, their application periods and applying.
