Our colleagues from University of Konstanz are very pleased to announce our Erasmus+ Staff Week in December 2018 at the University of Konstanz, Germany. This year’s theme will be “Third Mission – structures and examples of university social responsibility“.
The Staff Week will take place 3-6 December 2018 (arrival day on Sunday, departure day on Friday).
The Konstanz Staff Training Week is an opportunity to discuss different approaches of how higher institutions approach society, pursue public engagement, encourage students to engage and implement these activities as a third pillar aside from research and education. Please feel free to forward this invitation to colleagues interested in public engagement.
An inspiring key note will introduce you to the current state in Germany, followed by presentation of Konstanz’ initiatives. Nevertheless, we would be delighted to include presentations of participants and thus get a full picture of universities’ engagement worldwide. In addition, general information about the University of Konstanz and social events are included. You will also have the opportunity to meet representatives from the departments and to participate in our annual International Day, organized for Konstanz students wishing to study abroad. The language of communication will be English.
