Faculty Lunch Talk: Staff Exchange & Internationalization@home

The university is committed to further internationalization. It has already found its way into almost all areas. In teaching and in administration; cooperation with students, employees and colleagues from different cultures is part of everyday life. In order to cope with these conditions, employees of the university can educate themselves in various ways.

Since there is often not enough time to search for continuing education offerings, these offerings will come to you during your lunch break at Faculty 5!

During our Faculty Lunch Talk, you will have the opportunity to learn more about staff mobility within the Erasmus+ framework and on course offers of the Language Center (SZ) regarding e.g. teaching in English. 

Make the most of your lunch break and stop by for a chat, while enjoying snacks and drinks!
