Erasmus+ International Staff Week

Topic 2025: “CrossMedia Connect”

Join us for this year’s Erasmus+ International Staff Week! 24 to 28 November 2025

The Erasmus+ International Staff Week takes place on the Mediencampus of the Hochschule Darmstadt (h_da), one of the biggest media campus in Germany with a diverse offer of study programmes. Its a unique listed ensemble in the picturesque town of Dieburg. Located in the heart of the Rhine-Main region and next to the city of Darmstadt, known as the “The City of Science” and “Digital City”, it is a great place to experience German culture and get to know professionals and colleagues from around the world. 

This year’s Erasmus+ Staff Week is labeled “CrossMedia Connect” and follows diverse daily topics from different fields of media. We will emphasize on societal chances and risks of contemporary technologies, discuss the current development in various creative fields and share best practices for modern teaching methods. We will round it off with a broad cultural program, tasty "Glühwein" and the opportunity to get to know our students. 
Feel free to tell us in your application, if you want to discuss any other specific topics related to our study programmes.
