Global Faculty Week 2023

On April 24-28 Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) hosted the fourth international teaching week “Global Faculty Week 2023”, which aimed to enrich the content of study programmes and strengthen cooperation with partners around the world. This year, a particularly large number of applications has been received – more than 100 guest lecturers from 32 countries around the world delivered lectures, shared their knowledge and expertise to the University students from all the faculties.

The largest number of participants came to the School of Economics and Business, Faculties of Mechanical Engineering and Design, and Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts.

The guests also participated in a variety of cultural activities, visited the campus of the university, attended the museum and expanded their professional connections during the networking event.

Global Faculty Week 2022

In the last week of April, the 3rd KTU international teaching week took place, during which 50 guest lecturers from 22 countries were giving lectures to the University students. The event was organised in a mixed way – more than half of the guest lecturers were teaching in person, the rest gave lectures online.

The lectures were integrated into the study modules, so there were no changes in the timetable for the students. Hundreds of students benefited from this experience, it was a great way to make the students acquainted with a different academic culture and to broaden their approach to their studies. Visiting teachers not only passed on new knowledge but also taught in different ways, shared their cultural and personal experiences.

Virtual Global Faculty Week 2021

For the first time ever, Global Faculty Week at KTU was hosted virtually. However, it turned out to be not an obstacle but rather as a greater opportunity for lecturers from all around the world. A total of 65 professors from 25 different countries all the way from Europe to Asia and Latin America have cooperated with KTU lecturers from 8 different faculties and provided and hosted professionally prepared lectures for hundreds of KTU students.

In addition to teaching, our guests had an opportunity to establish new connections in the academic environment. Participants of Virtual Global Faculty Week 2021 enjoyed an interesting social program where they actively participated in discussions, learned about culture and history of Lithuania and even tried to virtually sing Lithuanian folk songs together.

Global Faculty Week 2019

In October 2019, students of Kaunas University of Technology had the opportunity to gain international academic experience without leaving Lithuania – over 30 lecturers from 4 continents, 17 countries, 23 foreign higher education institutions gave lectures in English at the University’s faculties. KTU teachers and researchers were also able to strengthen cooperation ties with partners from abroad and adopt global practices. Although lecturers from abroad come to the University regularly, this time we brought them together for one week in order to offer and get additional value. The visiting professors gave lectures, conducted seminars, met with counterparts, participated in other academic activities and social and cultural events.
