The International Week will delve into the theme "Universities for Gen Z: Modern Tools for Education and Research," focusing on how educational institutions can adapt to the needs and preferences of Generation Z. This event aims to equip academic and non-academic staff with the knowledge and skills to leverage modern tools and methodologies for enhanced education and research.

The IW 2024 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 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 a field trip to Lednice Chateau. 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! Priority will be given to partner Universities. Please register yourselves in this form.
