Back on track of internatinalisation
On 9-13 May 2022, after a two-year break, VILNIUS TECH International Relations Office has welcomed 30 colleagues from 14 countries and 16 partner universities worldwide at the International Staff Week „Back on Track of Internationalisation“ implemented within the framework of Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Programme. The event was aimed to discuss the post-pandemic trends in internationalisation and share examples of good practices.
Presentations and discussions of the staff evolved around the key priorities of the Erasmus+ 2021-2027 programme: inclusion, digitalisation, sustainability, civic engagement and active citizenship. Participants from diverse countries enriched the discussions with their unique experiences and insights and had an opportunity to apply new digital tools. The university research facilities and the Innovation and Creativity Centre „Linkmenų fabrikas“ were presented. In addition, meetings were arranged with the VILNIUS TECH administration, representatives of faculties and units. Some of the participants were also giving open lectures to VILNIUS TECH students.
