Employees from institutions in Algeria, Albania, Kosovo, Georgia and Ukraine are at the University of Coimbra (UC) between May 6th and 10th for a week of training that also includes visits and cultural moments.
Organized by the UC International Relations Division, the international week is part of the activities of the Erasmus+ project and has the participation of 15 members from partner institutions including professors, those responsible for International Relations, among other professionals.
The agenda includes the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Science and Technology at UC as well as various University services.
“I am sure you will enjoy” your stay and “I am very pleased to have you here”, said UC Vice-Rector for External Relations and Alumni, João Nuno Calvão da Silva, during the welcome session, which took place this Monday, May 6, in the UC Senate Room.
The Vice-Rector took the opportunity to mention that Erasmus mobility is, “in general terms, one of the great achievements of the European Union as a whole”.
The initiative is part of the ICM.UC academic exchange program, a three-year project, from 2022 to 2025, coordinated by UC and which brings together several higher education institutions from six countries – Algeria, Albania, Kosovo, Georgia, Ukraine and Palestine.
The general ICM program, which in English means International Credit Mobilityis funded by Erasmus+ and offers students, teachers and technicians the opportunity to undertake a period of study, internship or teaching/training in institutions located in Europe and other regions of the world.
