Incoming Staff Mobility
The International Relations Office at European University is responsible for collecting staff mobility nominations from partner universities throughout the year. For teaching staff, lecture topics will be agreed upon in advance, with incoming faculty working closely with their host faculties. The International Relations Office managers will facilitate this coordination. For administrative staff, the Office will assist in identifying the appropriate host unit at European University.
Furthermore, the university organizes an annual international staff week, providing visiting colleagues with an opportunity to network, exchange best practices, and explore potential collaborations. Information about upcoming staff weeks will be shared with partner institutions in due course.
