International Staff Week – Bridging the gap between academia and industry
One Staff Week – Two Countries, Three Universities!
Take advantage of this unique opportunity to discover two universities in a single week: OTH Amberg-Weiden (Germany, Bavaria) and the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen (Czech Republic), and to get to know another new partner: the Lodz University of Technology and the EUPeace Alliance.
The main theme of the 6th joint International Staff Week for academic and non-academic staff is ‘Building bridges between science and industry’.
The programme offers a mix of visits to research centres and international companies, as well as workshops and discussions.
