International Staff Week 2024

Goal of the event

The main aim of this event is to invite partners and to provide them with an opportunity to share and promote knowledge about international mobility and internationalisation at home, its challenges and opportunities, and to share our focus and experience to grow smarter together!

Topic and activities

Throughout the week, participants will take part in different workshops and activities to reflect on and develop different projects about internationalisation at home. Within the workshops, we will also discuss other relevant topics such as linguistic challenges, organising international events and COIL, among others.

Also, participants will have the opportunity to meet our students and staff in our International Fair. This event will be an amazing way to promote your university exchange programme amongst our UIC community.

Last, but not least, we have also organised some cultural activities about our city and traditions.

We hope you would like to join us for a week of international cooperation, networking and competence sharing in Barcelona!

Who is it aimed at?

Administrative staff and international coordinators from Partner Universities both within and beyond Europe.
