Detailed information about the recruitment process will be provided before the start of the recruitment for international internships.

International internships aim to:

Acquire skills beneficial for academic and teaching work;

• Improve digital competencies;
• Foster skills for green transformation initiatives.

The plan includes 100 international internships, each lasting 10 days (including travel days). The internship involves at least 6 hours of teaching activities and consultations with academic staff at the host institution, focusing on teaching techniques and methods, including observing educational practices.
