Prague International Staff Week

The dates of the 14th Prague International Staff Week coming soon, stay updated!

13th Prague International Staff Week with the name Navigating the Digital Landscape: Essential Tools for International Relations Staff took place between May 19-23, 2025. The training was organised in a BIP format (Blended Intensive Programme) combining the virtual & physical part. The online part of the staff week was held on April 8, 2025.

The main topic of this year’s edition was digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI), and we welcomed 21 international colleagues from 18 partner universities across 12 countries, including the USA, Switzerland, France, Slovenia, and Greece.

The programme included workshops focused on the use of AI and graphic tools, the exchange of best practices in digitalization, or a student panel discussion. Additionally, it was complemented by an interesting cultural program including a guided tour of Prague´s historic centre or an enamel workshop in Smalterie.

We are delighted to share knowledge, ideas, and enthusiasm for modern education with our international colleagues, and we already can´t wait for next year´s 14th edition.

A highly structured, motivated, competent and hospitable international team welcomes you with a unique historic urban setting as well as with examples and software skills for a bright internationalized future.

Marion Denglos, EDHEC Business School

I had such a lovely time in Prague. The city is beautiful, walkable, clean… I felt very welcome by the VSE IRO team and loved that they were so committed in the programme as well. We received lots of advice for our stay, the workshops were interesting, and the atmosphere among participants was great! We had a lot of fun 😁. It was a week out of time… 😉

Jessica Fastré, UNIL (HEC Lausanne)

The staff week was a great experience for me. I learned a lot, both about AI tools and other things, as well as about the different practices of other universities. It was definitely inspiring, and I fully intend to incorporate some of these tools into my daily routine.

Charlotte Lê, Burgundy School of Business

As my first staff week experience, this was truly exceptional. The organization was excellent, and the Prague team’s presence and involvement throughout the week made all the difference — I felt genuinely welcomed and supported.
The program was rich and well-structured, allowing me to learn a lot about the theme through practical workshops and inspiring sessions. I especially appreciated the chance to hear directly from students, which offered fresh and relevant insights.
It was also a great opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the world, exchange best practices, and build new professional relationships. I’m returning home with new knowledge, useful tools, and plenty of motivation to share what I’ve learned with my team.

A huge thank you to the entire Prague team for their warm welcome and dedication!
