From May 12 to 16, 2025, Comenius University in Bratislava hosted an international event titled "The Dynamics of Internationalisation", organized by the International Relations Office of the Rectorate in collaboration with university partners. This Staff Week was designed for representatives from partner universities working in international relations and mobility.
The event welcomed approximately 25 participants from partner universities across various European countries. Over the course of five days, they engaged in a rich programme focused on exchanging best practices, developing professional skills, and enhancing cooperation in the field of higher education internationalisation.
Programme Highlights: From Strategy to Inclusion
Each day focused on a specific topic – from an introduction to the university and the city of Bratislava, through student engagement, communication and promotion, guidelines for writing successful ICM projects, and supporting diversity and inclusion in the international academic environment. Participants joined expert workshops, presentations, and interactive discussions. A cultural programme included a visit to the Slovak Folk Majolica in Modra and a wine tasting excursion at the Karpatská Perla family winery in Šenkvice.
Let’s Meet the Faculties – Sharing and Connecting
A special highlight was Thursday's full-day event, "Let’s Meet the Faculties", during which international officers from various CU faculties joined the programme. Through this internal international fair, participants could meet colleagues, share experiences, promote their departments, and explore new opportunities for cooperation. The event was dynamic, engaging, and took place in a friendly and inspiring atmosphere. Its vibrant spirit is captured in photographs published alongside this article.
Professionalism and Positive Impact
The entire Staff Week was praised by participants as a highly professional and well-organized event, offering not only expert knowledge and networking opportunities but also personal and cultural enrichment. Comenius University once again confirmed its strong presence in the international academic community.
