Lithuania: Kaunas University of Technology – Global Faculty Week 2026

Kaunas University of Technology has annouced the organization of the „Global Faculty Week 2026“.  If interested, apply online and in case of acceptance (for the physical mobility), it is necessary to check the possibility of financing from the Erasmus+ programme with the International Office (radka.vavakova [at] vse.cz). The virtual mobilities cannot be financed from the Erasmus+ programme.

Kaunas University of Technology is delighted to invite colleagues from partner universities worldwide to join our teaching and training event “Global Faculty Week 2026” on 4–8 May 2026. This event aims to enhance the international and intercultural dimensions of curricula, foster the idea of internationalisation at home, and strengthen and expand international cooperation.

The event welcomes academic staff from various disciplines, including engineering, technology, physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities. To ensure accessibility for all participants, “Global Faculty Week 2026” will be held in a hybrid format. Colleagues who are unable to visit Kaunas physically are warmly invited to participate in virtual teaching sessions.

This year, we are also excited to invite administrative staff to join the event in the form of a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP). A dedicated program on the highly relevant topic “Universities at the Crossroad: Navigating Global Challenges and the Future of Learning” will be offered, featuring workshops and lectures designed specifically for administrative professionals.

Beyond the academic sessions, participants will enjoy a week-long cultural and social program. These activities, including cultural presentations and interactive workshops, will provide opportunities to exchange knowledge, engage in discussions, expand professional networks, and strengthen both existing and new partnerships with colleagues from around the globe.

We encourage you to apply as soon as possible, but no later than 1 April 2026.  Please note that places are limited, particularly for the administrative staff component.  The participants will be informed of their selection shortly after the application deadline.
