Apply for the UNIPD International Staff Training Week!

The University of Padua invites Arqus staff to participate in its annual International Staff Training Week, which will be held from 7 to 11 October 2024 in Padua. This year’s edition is dedicated to exploring Global Perspectives and Strategies in Higher Education Partnerships.

Partnerships are pivotal drivers of innovation, internationalization and academic excellence in higher education. They facilitate research collaborations, promote cross-cultural exchange and enrich the educational experience for students and faculty alike. Yet, harnessing the full potential of partnerships demands thoughtful planning and strategic foresight. This training aims to empower participants with best practices and strategies to not only identify promising partnership opportunities but also to cultivate, monitor and sustain them effectively.

Detailed information, including the provisional programme and the link to the application form, are available at this link.

Due to logistical constraints, the maximum number of participants is 25. Out of those 25, the University of Padua will reserve one place to each Arqus partner university.

The invitation is open to all staff members of the Arqus partner universities who are actively engaged in the field of internationalisation. The event is free of charge, but participants will need to cover their own travel and accommodation costs. The event is eligible for Erasmus+ funding for staff mobility.

Applications are open until 31 July 2024.
