International Networking Week

Justus Liebig University Giessen invites its partners from International Offices to JLU’s annual International Networking Week. This week is organized and hosted by JLU’s International Office and is embedded in the Erasmus+ Staff Exchange Programme.

The meetings allow participants to exchange ideas about fostering student and staff mobility. German language courses every morning will give a nice warm-up into the day. There will also be an intercultural approach to mobility including enough room to discuss structures and working practices, to explore and talk about topics of interest within the field of internationalisation, mobility and general structure of universities and their relevant units. The programme runs from Monday to Friday. There is of course time foreseen for individual meetings with colleagues of JLU’s departments or site visits to other university facilities.

This year we focus on the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility - thus we are expecting many colleagues from partner countries as well.

On cultural terms, we will explore typical German (Hessen) cuisine and beer-brewing. A highlight will be the visit to our university castle where there will be the reception for visiting researchers, hosted by our president.

Giessen, as the town with the highest student density in Germany, is a typical student city and represents Germany very well. So, the stay will give everyone a very good insight into what life and work in Giessen is like - enjoy! 

Accommodation: Participants should make their reservations themselves. We have a list of hotels on our website.

Applications have to be made online via the website indicated above.
