The College of Business Administration of Latvia is pleased to invite you to the International staff training days from April 18 to 21, 2023 "Distance education – enabling future excellence today”.

During the pandemic, almost every higher education institution had to adapt to the online study process, and many of them are keeping some distance education elements after the pandemic till now. The College of Business Administration has more than 20 years of experience in providing higher education in a distance format, and the College will share its extensive experience. The program of staff training days offers an enriching international and intercultural learning experience and the opportunity to discuss relevant and actual topics regarding distance education and international cooperation, as well as to find new international partners.

The goal of the staff week is to exchange good practices and ideas, discuss topics related to distance education management, share international experiences, acquire new knowledge and develop expertise, strengthen current partnerships between universities, and create new contacts.

The program includes presentations, interactive workshops, problem-solving cases, site visits, and networking. Beyond the program, you will have a chance to discover the vibrant and charming city of Riga as well as the most beautiful towns of Latvia Cesis, and Sigulda.

During the staff training days, the College will organize an International scientific conference on April 20 (sections in Business, Management, Law, and Finances). The International staff training days participants are invited to present at the conference and receive a certificate.
