About

About

The COVID-19 crisis has accelerated huge changes in higher education and introduced new forms of cooperation. With more or less active student mobility, staff visits have been put on hold for an indefinite time. For the autumn semester and into 2021 virtual mobility might be the only option for most of HEI’s to form and maintain partnerships and reach their goals for internationalisation.

The European Commission has now confirmed through the National Agencies that blended and virtual mobility can take place under the Erasmus+ mobility actions. It is an occasion to limit the negative impact of the crisis, but also to establish an additional format and opportunity for international mobility.

Therefore, KTU kindly invites colleagues from partner universities worldwide to its “Virtual Global Faculty Week 2021” to be held on 22-26 March 2021.

The event is open for academic staff willing to give lectures online, share experiences with our professors, find areas of cooperation. We believe that it is a mutual interest and virtual lectures will become another form of cooperation and exchange of expertise.

Language of the event and lectures is English.
