In May 2025, we were delighted to host our Staff Week in Catania, supported by the Blended Intensive Programme (BIP). The event brought together professionals from various institutions, creating a dynamic space for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and international networking in a truly inspiring setting.

Highlights of the Week:
Interactive Workshops
Participants engaged in hands-on sessions led by experienced professionals, exploring current challenges and innovative approaches in higher education collaboration.

Networking Opportunities
The week fostered meaningful connections among colleagues from across Europe and beyond, strengthening institutional partnerships and encouraging future joint initiatives.

Cultural Exploration
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Catania, attendees experienced the city’s rich history, architecture, and Mediterranean atmosphere, adding a unique cultural dimension to the programme.

Exchange of Best Practices
The Staff Week provided an open platform for sharing ideas, experiences, and successful models from different institutions, reinforcing our collective commitment to excellence and cooperation.

We would like to deeply thank the colleagues in Catania for their outstanding organisation, warm hospitality, and dedication throughout the week. Their commitment and professionalism were key to the success of this edition.
