2^nd International Staff Mobility Week - Anadolu University

Dates: 6 May - 10 May 2024

Anadolu University is delighted to personally invite you to their 2^nd Staff Week, which we will host this May 2024 (from May 6 to 10).

The theme of our event is Erasmus+ Blended Mobility. Our aim is to introduce blended mobility and blended intensive mobility programs to academic staff members and train them on these programs. We would like to host workshops where those faculty members with experience would share their experience(s) in creating, executing, and evaluating such a course with the rest of the participants. Therefore we are looking for faculty members with blended mobility or blended intensive mobility course experience. I would like to inquire if one of the faculty members at your university with such experience would be able to come to Anadolu University and make a presentation about his/her BIP course experience at our event.

We are able to host one academic per institution. There will be no participation fee for our event. It is possible to apply for funding within the Erasmus+ Program. If you do not qualify for the Erasmus+ Program funding, you may participate by self-funding as unfortunately, we do not have available funding for KA131 mobilities. Anadolu University will cover the costs of welcome dinner, farewell lunch, and social activities such as ancient site tours.
 
Also, if there is no academic staff who would like to present about a BP/BIP course, please feel free to spread the word to see if a faculty member would like to attend our event as a trainee and/or teach at the respective department.        

If you're interested, check out the full programme. After submitting your application, we will send further information by e-mail.
