The International Weeks’ main objectives are to strengthen the cooperation between our University and our partner Institutions, to increase international opportunities and provide international experience for our students. 

 

For the visiting lecturers we would like to create the opportunity to meet and network with peers in a number of fields. We truly believe that successful cooperation is based on personal encounters and meaningful exchange of ideas, experiences, skills and strategies for best practices, which will help us strengthen our existing partnerships, while presenting opportunities for future cooperation.

 

VISITING LECTURER’S CONTRIBUTION

In order to organise the workshops of the international week, we would like to invite you to focus your workshop(s) on one or two topicsand prepare your contribution in English. Each workshop will be one session of three hours with a short break.

 

For your orientation, we are interested in the following:

  • we would like you to relate your topic to sustainability (either environmental, economic or social sustainability);
  • we would like to learn more about your field of expertise;
  • we are interested in interdisciplinarity. We welcome contributions from all domains (agronomy, arts, engineering, health, economics, etc.) that can relate to our students’ studies within marketing, entrepreneurship, business administration.
  • we would like you to relate your workshop to initiatives or good practices of your local community (your university home town, your country).
  • we would like you to relate your topic to the Hanze spearpoints: entrepreneurship, healthy ageing, energy transition, internationalisation.
  • we would like the workshops to be dynamic and interactive (active participation from students)

 

Should you like to propose a different topic, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate it!

For your inspiration, below you can find examples of topics of workshops of the International Week we organised in 2018:

1.   Logistics and sustainability in Istanbul

2.   Galicia: development, sustainability and identity

3.   Smart city logistics in Germany

4.   Pontevedra: improving quality of life and succesful city marketing
