The principle of the meeting is mainly presentation of our university and the exchange of the experience in the field of students’ and lecturers mobilities abroad, not only in the framework of the Erasmus programme.

The programme of the training is diverse. After welcoming by the Vice-rector for Foreign Affairs and PR prof. Ing. Hana Machková and the introduction of the university, the programme continues with interesting lectures (such as about issues of outgoing and incoming students or cultural shock of students in foreign country), workshops or meeting with Czech students selected for exchange on particular partner universities, as well as with a short course of Czech language.
