“Internationalisation at Home”

The 6th Edition of the Polytechnic University of Coimbra’s Erasmus+ Global Week will focus on the theme “Internationalisation at Home”. This programme aims to strengthen globais networks and foster international cooperation, with a particular focus on how to integrate internationalisation within our home institutions. The event will provide a platform for discussing global challenges, sharing best practices, and exploring how higher education can contribute to addressing these issues, all within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme.

Coimbra, known as the “City of Knowledge,” is a prestigious academic hub, making it the ideal setting for this week-long event. It will offer opportunities for cross-cultural interaction, the exchange of ideas, and collaborative problem-solving among participants from diverse international backgrounds.

Our team is eager to welcome you!
