Twenty people attended this event, which ended today after a whole week of networking sessions. It has been the first Erasmus+ mobility opportunity for university staff organised by the EUNICE alliance.
This week, University of Cantabria (UC) celebrated the first EUNICE Staff Week with the aim of promoting collaboration between different universities, especially among those which are members of the EUNICE alliance. For this purpose, within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme for university staff mobility, this Spanish university organised this event of networking sessions and presentations of services related to support for teaching, international relations, entrepreneurship, sustainability and European research projects, among others.
UC’s Rector Ángel Pazos welcomed the participants from EUNICE universities -Catania, Vaasa, Karlstad, Peloponnese and Polytechnic of Viseu- and from other higher education institutions -Cyprus and Warsaw Universities of Technology and the Tashkent Institute of Chemical Technology-. In addition to the contents of the varied sessions, Gemma Castro, Director for UC’s International Relations Office, highlighted the opportunity that this Staff Week represented for the participants “to exchange good practices and to learn from one another”.
Castro explained that the EUNICE Staff Week was designed “with a general approach” and that both administrative and teaching staff were invited to “share their experiences and approaches from different points of view”. She added that activities of this kind help to “facilitate relations with international universities in the future”.
