International Studies Centre organized the Staff Training for colleagues from partner universities for a week from April 22 till April 26, 2013.

There were 13 representatives in total from 13 partner universities from 10 European countries in total. The participants came from BI Norwegian Business School, EBS Universitaet fuer Wirtschaft und Recht, ESCP Europe, FH Mainz – University of Applied Sciences, HEC Management School – University of Liege, Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University, Roma Tre University, Tallinn University of Technology, University of Agder, University of Liechtenstein, University of Maribor and Yasar University.

The principle of the meeting was 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 was diverse. After welcoming by the Head of International Office, Mrs. Dana Brázdová and the introduction of the university, the programme continued with interesting lectures (such as about issues of outgoing and incoming students or ESN VŠE Praha – Buddy System), or meeting with Czech students selected for exchange on particular partner universities, as well as with a short course of Czech language and culture.

In addition, our hosts from partner universities had the possibility to attend walking tour through Prague with professional guide as well as taste traditional Czech cuisine.

The organization, process and the gains of the event were highly valuated by the participants, so we hope to organize this event next year again.
