Oleksandra Yeremenko, Professor at the V. V. Popovsky Department of Infocommunication Engineering, participated in the International Staff Week hosted by the University of Coimbra, Portugal, within the framework of the Erasmus+ KA171 International Credit Mobility programme.
The international event brought together representatives of higher education institutions from different countries to discuss contemporary approaches to internationalisation, the development of inter-university partnerships and strategies for global academic cooperation.
The Staff Week programme combined online and in-person activities, including plenary sessions, panel discussions, round tables, group work, professional networking and visits to the University of Coimbra campuses.
The key topics included the role of universities in promoting global cooperation, the international positioning of higher education institutions, European internationalisation strategies, municipal diplomacy and contemporary models for implementing international educational initiatives.
During the event, Oleksandra Yeremenko actively contributed to professional discussions, presented the experience of Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, exchanged best practices in internationalisation with colleagues from different countries and established new professional contacts for the further development of academic cooperation.
Participation in the joint discussions provided an opportunity to explore effective models for building international partnerships, contemporary academic mobility mechanisms and current approaches to strengthening the European Higher Education Area.
One of the most valuable parts of the programme was a visit to the Figueira da Foz campus, where the participants were introduced to modern learning environments and innovative approaches to the organisation of education, interdisciplinary cooperation and student-centred learning. These practices offer new opportunities for applying successful European experience in the educational and international activities of NURE.
Professional networking was another important component of the Staff Week. Participants discussed opportunities for joint educational and research projects, academic mobility programmes, new formats of international cooperation and the development of Blended Intensive Programmes — BIPs.
Meetings of this kind create a solid foundation for launching new international initiatives, expanding student and staff mobility and strengthening long-term partnerships between universities.
The outcomes of the International Staff Week will contribute to the further development of cooperation between Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics and the University of Coimbra, the expansion of academic mobility opportunities and NURE’s continued integration into the European Higher Education Area.
