ENLIGHT Staff Weeks

ENLIGHT staff weeks are opportunities for professional development and international peer learning supporting teaching and learning activities. The aim of these staff weeks is to widen professional horizons, boost networking and cooperation across ENLIGHT. Staff weeks are arranged around such themes as lifelong learning, impactful collaboration and creating opportunities for internationalisation.

Each ENLIGHT university will organise a two-to-five-day Staff Week training every academic year. The trainings will take place on site and cover a wide range of topics from funding to career services. Please explore the Staff Week calendar with a variety of training options for support staff members of the network.
