The aim of the International Staff Training Week was to get to know and train key concepts related to intercultural and transcultural competencies and to develop strategies to promote and support change processes. With around 40 very active participants from all over Europe, the USA, Japan, Rwanda and the Bahamas, Linnaeus University provided an excellent platform for this. In addition to lectures and seminars, the week's program also included activities that allowed the participants to get to know Kalmar, Växjö and the region.
Staff Training Week lntercultural Communication, Exchange of experience in student exchanges an der Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in Las Palmas May 2023
Learning from each other's experiences in the exchange of students and thus further expanding student mobility. This was one of the aims of this staff week with partners from 12 different countries. Due to the geographical proximity to Africa, there were also representatives from two African countries. This allowed for a lively exchange, many suggestions and a lot of fun in an excellently organized week. We will implement a few things in the degree programs we supervise.
Erasmus and Integrative Biology of Infection and Diseases - Meting with Dr. Joern Pütz Université de Strasbourg - March 2023
We met with Dr. Joern Pütz from the Université de Strasbourg on 30.03.2023 and talked to him about increasing international mobility in the Erasmus program and the Franco-German doctoral program at the interface of structural biology and infection research entitled “Integrative Biology of Infection and Diseases”.
As always, it was an exciting and profitable exchange about international affairs, Erasmus and university cooperation.
Prof. Dr. Julia Kehr and Prof. Dr. Stefan Hoth will take part in a lecture series at the Université de Strasbourg. Dr. Markus Brändel will discuss in-depth cooperation directly on site in Strasbourg in May. The aim is to make the exchange and the Bachelor's/Master's degree course in Biology more attractive.
Erasmus Staff Week InterWeek 2022 @ University of Porto - November 2022
“Is Erasmus for all? - Social Inclusion and Engagement in Mobility“ René König took part in a Staff Exchange Week on this topic at the University of Porto, with which we maintain an intensive exchange as part of Erasmus. The topic was discussed intensively with all participants in various lectures/workshops and they were able to report to each other on how this topic is dealt with at other European universities and what interesting and promising projects exist there. In addition to the content-related topics, there was enough time to meet with the participants from the other European universities to talk about interesting projects or new partnerships. There will probably be a new partnership agreement with the Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Universidad de Alcalá in WS23/24.
