Between 9-12 October 2017, The Vicerectorate for International Relations, within Gheorghe Asachi Technical University of Iasi, organized the first edition of International Staff Week.
The training week was focused on Internationalisation of universities – Inside and Out and it included a presentation of our university and of its International Relations – Erasmus+ Office, round tables and visits to our 11 faculties. At the round tables the participants presented their universities and their work, so that everybody benefited from each other’s experience, discussed the strong and weak points they have, as well as good practices in various kind of university administration fields.
We also had a trip to the fabulous land of the monasteries, part of the UNESCO heritage.
Being at the first edition in 2017, we would like to organize the International Staff Week also in the next years, as an annual event whose aim is to present, discuss and improve administrative handling of the internationalisation activities as performed by various universities.
This is an excellent opportunity to establish new international relations and to strength the existing ones by facilitating cultural and professional exchanges between staff members of universities across different countries.
One of our delegates expressed her feelings regarding her participation at the first edition of International Staff Week 2017: ”I feel myself personally gained a lot in order to develop my viewpoint about Erasmus+ opportunities; which taught me that organizing our office work not only for the student/staff mobilities but also opening places for cooperation in other projects is valuable for university’s internationalization goals.” Other participant said: ”Thank you for the nice week in TUIasi. We have got knowledge about your international and educational activity. Some your “know-how” we plan to use in our work.”
We all had a great experience, so we invite you to join us to the next edition and we recommend you to follow our page www.intstw.tuiasi.ro.
