Programme
Here is the preliminary programme of the staff week and we will be updating this:
Arrival in the morning and possible bilateral meetings in the afternoon. The programme on Monday is quite free because many European partners may arrive then. We are also inviting our global partners and they will have some programme on Monday afternoon because their exchange needs to be min. 5 days in order to be covered by Erasmus+ Global.
