International Week KUE – “Management of Cities with Cultural Heritage”, 2024
For one week each academic year, the KUE International Programmes Office creates an opportunity for contact and exchange of opinions on experiencing the benefits of international academic exchange. The venture is dedicated to initiating, supporting and coordinating international activities on the University’s campus. The annual meeting also provides a regular, direct exchange of ideas with partners from outside Poland. This year – from 8 to 13 April – we hosted 18 participants from European partner schools.
International Week is one of the many ways in which the University prepares the academic community for international knowledge, skills and experience. With activities of this kind, we seek to stimulate the desire to become conscious global citizens, people responsible for the well-being of the world. This year, taking into account the pandemic experience, we answered the question of what lies ahead in terms of student mobility.
