International Staff Week
International Staff Week - Bridging Academia with Industry
One Staff Week – Two Countries, Three Universities!
Take advantage of this unique opportunity to discover two universities in one week: OTH Amberg-Weiden (Germany, Bavaria) and the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen (Czech Republic) and introducing another new partner, the Lodz University of Technology and EUPeace Alliance.
The main theme of the 6th joint International Staff Week for academic and non-academic staff is bridging Academia with Industry.
The programme offers a mix of lectures, workshops and discussions. An experienced trainer will explain this importance and show how it can be integrated into daily work with students. Participants will learn about themselves and their work at the universities, but also about current challenges for students.
When: 20. to 24. April 2026
Language: English
