The main theme of International Staff Training Week was an analysis of the impact of intercultural competence on the effectiveness of academic and administrative mobility, as well as its role in improving the internationalization processes of universities.

 

Throughout the week, working sessions were combined with thematic discussions focused on contemporary approaches to the admission and comprehensive support of international students and staff. Participants also took part in roundtable discussions, during which they exchanged best practices and methodologies aimed at improving the quality of international mobility programs.

In addition, the program included networking sessions and one-on-one meetings at the faculties and departments of the University of Granada, during which participants discussed prospects for joint projects, academic partnerships, and further international cooperation.

We sincerely thank the Vice Rector’s Office for Internationalization at the University of Granada for the invitation, the warm welcome, and many years of fruitful cooperation.
