March was a month full of interesting and significant activities for our International Department. In addition to participating in a series of fairs and the Blended Intensive Program (BIP), we were actively involved in the mobility of our colleagues through the outgoings program. At the Faculty of Management, UK (FM UK), we hosted colleagues from many countries and partner institutions, including:

Dr. Peter Balco and Frédéric Dellaneuville organized the BIP titled Management of Energy Challenges of Today's Society: Roles and Responsibilities of Individual Stakeholders in Today's and Future Metropolitan Environments. The event was attended by 21 international participants and 7 educators. The partner universities were:

All of these activities contribute to vibrant relationships and the internationalization that our faculty truly lives by. These events are also documented by poignant photographs, which capture not only the events themselves but also the friendships and collaborations that developed during these international meetings.
More information to Management of Energy Challenges of Today's Society will be provided in an upcoming extra article, which will be published soon.
January 2025
Even in January, we are sending colleagues to interesting destinations, as demonstrated by the post below. We would also like to remind you that the additional STA call for teaching mobility (until 31.01.) for the summer semester 2024 is still open. Colleagues, get inspired and travel!
The Erasmus+ Staff Mobility program, hosted by the Polytechnic University of Leiria from January 13th to 17th, 2025, proved to be an exceptional platform for professional development and international exchange. Central to the program's success was a series of expertly curated workshops that addressed critical topics at the intersection of education, technology, and societal values.
The program commenced with the workshop “AI and Cybersecurity in Higher Education: Challenges and Opportunities,” led by Professor Mário Antunes. This session provided participants with an in-depth analysis of the integration of artificial intelligence in higher education while emphasizing the importance of robust cybersecurity frameworks. The discussion underscored both the potential and the risks associated with adopting AI technologies in academic environments.
A second highlight was the workshop “Harnessing AI and Process Mining: Streamlining Bureaucratic Processes for Enhanced Efficiency,” facilitated by Pro-President Professor Ricardo Martinho. This session explored innovative applications of AI and process mining to optimize administrative workflows. Participants gained actionable insights into enhancing operational efficiency and reducing procedural bottlenecks, with a focus on practical implementation.
In “Artificial Intelligence, EU Values, and Identity,” Professor Mário Barata provided a thought-provoking exploration of the ethical and cultural dimensions of AI. This workshop emphasized the alignment of technological innovation with European values, fostering a balanced approach that prioritizes societal impact alongside technical advancements.
The final session, “Data Analysis – Using Artificial Intelligence Methods to Extract Knowledge from Your Data,” delivered by Professor Carlos Grilo, equipped participants with advanced methodologies for data analysis. This hands-on workshop offered practical tools for extracting meaningful insights from complex datasets, a skill of growing importance in both academic and professional settings.
The workshops exemplified the program’s commitment to excellence, offering a blend of theoretical insights and practical applications. Participants benefited from an interdisciplinary approach, enhancing their ability to implement innovative solutions within their institutions. The collaborative and engaging atmosphere encouraged the exchange of experiences and fostered international partnerships.

A colleague from the International Department, Romana Farská from FM UK, is currently hosting at a partner university in Oviedo. At two contracted campuses, she is developing further cooperation opportunities, specifically at the Faculty of Business, Tourism, and Social Sciences, and the Faculty of Economic and Business Sciences.
Ferko Olšavský, returned from Erasmus+ teacher mobility in his own words:
The unknown Kaunas in Lithuania would probably be the most accurate description of the city for Slovaks. Last week, thanks to an Erasmus+ teaching stay, I had the opportunity to get to know the local Kaunas University of Technology and its Faculty of Economics and Business. Although it is only a city of 300,000, it offers its residents and visitors many cultural and natural stops worth visiting: the M.K. Čiurlionis Museum of Art, many other galleries, almost always open churches, and 2 kilometers long central arcade full of shops, a botanical garden, a zoo and forest parks. All accessible by public transport with a really small entrance fee. Next year the university celebrates its 100th anniversary, for which they are already preparing accordingly. I recommend everyone to get to know this destination of friendly people, amber and rich history.







September and October 2024
Dr. Božena Freund, a visiting lecturer from the Faculty of Management and Social Communication at Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, visited the Department of Management at FM UK. Her visit took place under the institutional agreement between UK and Jagiellonian University. She delivered a lecture to students on the topic of "Management and Leadership." Her presence was highly beneficial for students and also opened opportunities for further collaboration between the two universities.
During September 2024, we sent our colleagues on Erasmus mobility programs, including Staff Week and language courses, to Lithuania, Croatia, Hungary, Ireland, and Spain. English and Spanish language courses organized by SpainBcn-Programs in Barcelona remain highly popular. Besides Barcelona, this program now offers new attractive destinations such as Tarragona, Alcúdia - Mallorca, and plans are underway for Malaga. Their personal experiences and photographic documentation can serve as inspiration for others interested in similar opportunities.
Miloš Mrva by his own words about STT mobility in Klaipeda:
In the beautiful Lithuanian coastal city of Klaipeda, I participated in the international week, which was number 21 and was called "CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION". There were approx. 40 participants from more than 10 countries, not only from Europe. It was a great combination of education, networking, exchange of experience and getting to know the local culture - I highly recommend it

By her own words:
“Bratislava - the mirror in which you see who you are and what you want to be. I arrived at 7 am on May 23, 2022 in Mlynské Nivy to start my Erasmus + mobility at the Faculty of Management of Jan Comenius University in Bratislava. Two young men were cleaning the metal hardware of the large columns in the beautiful, huge building so early, even though it was amazingly clean. I approached. It was fantastic because I saw myself after such a long time, inscribed in the global picture of the spectacular building, designed to travel around the world! I felt like a man, a teacher and a scientist, belonging to the world! The city of Devin, the historical sights, the Old Town, the museums and the architectural masterpieces of Bratislava in a brilliant combination with modern construction, cleanliness and metropolitan order really make you feel like a modern person.
I am happy that through the University of Bratislava I returned to the work of Jan Comenius to realize how many more lessons we have to learn from his Great Didactics!
My colleagues and students from the Faculty of Management confirmed this experience in our meetings, in the exchange of experience and the exchange of gifts. Smiling, dedicated to knowledge, ready to cooperate, they turn work into pleasure - one of the modern trends in management, which makes them leaders in the workplace! My Slovak colleagues and students have revealed to me what I want to be after my meetings with them - even more persistent, striving for professionalism in my work with my students and dedicated to my research interests in global management! I am impressed by your Turkish trainee Mr. Ilayda Sarigul’s intelligence, the warmth in the attitude towards us, the playfulness of the emotions! Her radiance is life! I do not know what her name means, but if I have to choose a metaphor, it is joyful. I thank all of them from the bottom of my heart for the strength they gave me to move forward!“
