International Week MENDELU

Mendel University in Brno has the pleasure of inviting you to our Autumn International Week 2021, which will take place from the 18th to the 22nd of October 2021. The IW 2021 will give participants a unique opportunity to find out more about our university, network and share best practices with other colleagues working for the international, study abroad offices or professional academics. The 5-day programme includes round table discussions, presentations, problem-solving cases and social events. The main objectives of the programme include networking, transfer of knowledge and sharing of experiences and best practices among colleagues from partner and non-partner institutions. Participants are expected to bring into the discussion examples from their own institutions and present best practices or innovative approaches to the issues addressed. In the context of cultural activities, participants will have the chance to go on a guided tour of Brno city and the UNESCO heritage castle Lednice. The selection of participants must take into consideration the relevance of their professional responsibilities. If all applicants fulfil the criteria, we will apply the first-come and first-served principle, moreover, if you are not selected it’s not necessarily personal!
