International Staff Training Week 2024
Global Perspectives and Strategies in Higher Education Partnerships
The University of Padua invites partners and colleagues to participate in the International Staff Training Week on the topic of “Global Perspectives and Strategies in Higher Education Partnerships”, taking place in Padua, October 7-11, 2024.
Join us to discuss opportunities and challenges related to partnerships, look into practical applications and outcomes, share experiences and best practices.
Objectives: Partnerships are pivotal drivers of innovation, internationalization, and academic excellence in higher education. They facilitate research collaborations, promote cross-cultural exchange, and enrich the educational experience for students and faculty alike. However, capitalizing on partnerships to maximize their impact requires careful consideration and strategic planning.
This International Staff Training Week aims to equip participants with best practices and strategies to not only identify promising partnership opportunities but also to cultivate, monitor and sustain them effectively. Through the contribution of international speakers and presentation of case studies from across the globe, the event will look at ways of leveraging on mutual institutional strengths, and aligning partnership goals with broader academic and institutional objectives.
Who can participate: Administrative and academic staff members from Higher Education Institutions across the globe. An active engagement of all participants is expected throughout the Training Week (case studies presentations, group work & discussion, etc.). Previous experience in strategic partnerships is considered as an asset.
When: October 7 - 11, 2024
Where: University of Padua, Italy
Costs: the event is free of charge. Participants are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses. The event is eligible for Erasmus+ funding for staff mobility.

International Staff Training Week 2022
Experimenting with Mobility: what works best to stimulate internationalisation?
The University of Padua invites colleagues to participate in the International Staff Training Week on the topic of “Experimenting with Mobility: what works best to stimulate internationalisation?”, taking place in Padua from 12 to 14 October 2022.
Join us to discuss opportunities and challenges related to innovative and flexible types of mobility, look into practical applications and outcomes, share experiences and best practices.
Objectives: Innovative and flexible types of mobility in Higher Education are expanding rapidly, and are strongly supported by the European Commission within the new Erasmus+ Programme 2021-2027. Those types of mobility, including short, virtual, blended mobilities, allow for increasing inclusion and extend the reach of international activities to wider target groups. The aim of the event is to bring together International Officers, Academics, and all university staff members engaged with or interested in innovative and flexible mobilities, and share best practices from across the globe. It also aims to support the development of links across Professional Service Units (Global/International Office, Student Affair Office, Career Service and others) and Academic Schools.
Who can participate: Administrative and academic staff members from Higher Education Institutions across the globe. An active engagement of all participants is expected throughout the Training Week (case studies presentations, group work & discussion, etc.). Previous experience in organisation of short/virtual/blended/innovative/flexible mobilities is considered as an asset.
When: from 12th to 14th October 2022
Where: University of Padua, Italy
Costs: the event is free of charge. Participants are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses.

The event built on the upcoming 800th anniversary celebrations of the University of Padua in 2022 and the 600th anniversary celebrations at St Andrews in 2013.

We had the pleasure to welcome administrative and academic staff members from Higher Education Institutions across the globe, who participated actively throughout the International Week and gave their great contribution to the success of the event.
