International Staff Week 2024 - Challenges of Green and Digital Transitions in Academic Institutions

We are pleased to invite colleagues from our partner universities abroad to the International Staff Week: Challenges of Green and Digital Transitions in Academic Institutions, which will be held at the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Maribor, and organized in March 2024 (11th and 29th March online / 18th to 22nd March onsite).

The purpose of the International Staff Week is to strengthen international research cooperation and exchange good practices and experiences within the lectures. The aim of this International Staff Week is to promote the idea of internationalization, increase staff mobility and consequently student mobility.

A rapidly changing world requires proactive educators to embed green and digital transition concepts into academic institutions as a whole. The necessary skills for the future must be embedded in the curriculum of higher education programmes. We are responsible for ensuring that future generations are well trained in how to act and behave in a new reality of emerging environmental and pollution issues, challenging international relations and generative AI threats and opportunities at the same time.

The staff week aims to bring together all university staff working on or interested in this topic to learn new skills, discuss opportunities and challenges and share their experiences and best practises.

Participants of the International Staff Week are invited to submit a presentation related to Staff Week title which can be presented in the frame of the Staff Week program.  Participation with the presentation is not a mandatory condition for the cooperation in the International Staff Mobility Week. Participation is only encouraged.

We invite lecturers and adminstrative staff from European Universities and from Partner Universities outside Europe.
