12th International Staff Week - Erasmus+ ICM - KA171

The University of Valladolid is very pleased to announce its 12th International Staff Week which will be held between May 25th-29th, 2026.

The 12th International Staff Week has a new format this year: it will incorporate a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) developed in collaboration with the SGroup European Universities' Network. This initiative builds on well-established partnerships and emphasises the added value in strengthening cooperation and fostering greater synergies between the KA171 project of the University of Valladolid and its KA131 partners.

This week is specifically designed for staff working as part of the International Offices or dealing with the administrative issues of European projects, such as Erasmus+ KA171 (ICM) or KA2-CBHE.

This event will be the 4th international week within our UVAMOBPLUS2 project: https://uvamobplus2.uva.es/

During the week, participants will have the opportunity to attend several sessions, seminars and workshops and actively participate in the programme through the presentation of selected topics, mainly focused on internatinalization, ICM and CBHE proposals.

The programme will provide an intercultural learning experience in addition to get to know the different centres of the University of Valladolid and exchange best practices on internationalization.

Participation in the event will have a fee of 0 EUR for covering the social activities during the week (visit to Segovia Campus and City (including lunch), city tours in Valladolid and Segovia, Spanish crash course, coffee breaks and welcome and farewel dinner/lunch). The event is expected to be covered by a BIP activity.

Participants are expected to cover the travel, accommodation and living expenses through the Erasmus+ fund for staff training mobility (STT) available in their home institutions, or otherwise.

We will accept up to 50 participants:

· 30-35 from KA171 (ICM countries): Western Balkans, Eastern Partnership, South Mediterranean countries, Subsaharan Africa, Central Asia, Asia and Australia coming from partner institutions within the UVAMOBPLUS2 project

· 10-15 (from EU countries)

Our aim is to host a very diverse group of participants in order to have successful outcomes.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at the University of Valladolid!
