Seminars on Sharing Experiences, Initiatives and Expertise in Aurora

The Aurora partnership creates a living platform for Aurora University students and staff to exchange ideas on ways to enhance the quality of education, research and university activities and increase their societal impact.

Internationalisation, international cooperation and student and staff exchanges are a cornerstone of the partnership. From December to April, Aurora invites students, staff and academics of Aurora universities working or interested in the field of internationalisation to share experiences, projects, initiatives and expertise, debate and ask questions at a montly lunch talk. The aim is to create an interactive get together where we can learn from each other, share ideas and good practices.

Please refer to the programme below to join the lunch talks, note that the timing of events is in Central European Time (CET).
