\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want our students to become world citizens\u201d \u2013 university representatives from Belgium, Lithuania, Greece, Portugal, Germany, Poland, Italy and Spain have gathered in Valencia<\/strong> in order to achieve a common goal: encouraging the international exchange between universities from all over Europe. The University CEU Cardenal Herrera<\/strong><\/a> hosted the second International Staff Week 2015<\/strong> with the aim of spending five days of exploring ways to collaborate in the sense of \u201cGood practices in European projects<\/strong>\u201d. The participants all share the motivation of providing opportunities for their international students to study, train and gain work experience \u2013 in their home countries and abroad.<\/p>\n

With around 15% of international students from Europe, Asia and the United States, bilingual international degrees, ERASMUS students and various exchange programs, the University CEU Cardenal Herrera<\/strong> is certainly an institution for which internationalization is an important topic. \u201cWe hope that our CEU-representatives can exchange experiences regarding international projects with the participants of the International Staff Week.\u201d \u2013 the organizers of the iWeek<\/a> focused on learning from each other and on discussing and developing new projects and ideas in the international context.<\/p>\n

The participants, who had applied for being able to take part in the iWeek<\/strong>, were welcomed by the Hon. Mrs. Rosa Visiedo Claverol, the Rector <\/strong>of the University CEU Cardenal Herrera as well as the Vice-Rector D. Inaki Bilbao Estrada<\/strong> and the organizers of the event, Inmaculada L\u00e1zaro Asensio y Elena Alcaide Gonz\u00e1lez, members\u00a0of the International Relations Service.<\/p>\n

The international university representatives received a first impression of the university \u2013 first by a virtual presentation and afterwards by a tour around the campus. In exchange, they introduced themselves and the universities they work at with short presentations. The \u201cErasmus Hogeschool\u201d<\/strong><\/a> in Brussels, the \u201cCespu<\/strong><\/a>\u201d-University in Porto or the \u201cVilnius University<\/strong><\/a>\u201d in Lithuania were some of the participating institutions. \u201cAs the University CEU Cardenal Herrera<\/strong><\/a> is a very international institution, we have been cooperating and sending our students to Valencia. Our students appreciate above all the high standards and quality of the equipment and facilities the faculties offer here<\/strong>\u201d, Ellen Thielemans and Ilse Godts (Erasmus Hogeschool in Brussels<\/a>). Although their university is already a \u201ctrue melting pot where different nationalities, ideas and ways of life connect\u201d, they intent to improve their international projects and cooperations with institutions from other parts of the world.<\/p>\n
