Keep on learning with Staff Weeks & Job Shadowing

Welcome to the CIVIS internationalisation academy! CIVIS is also an Alliance for the staff of our member universities, we we want to give you the opportunity to share experiences, knowledge and skills with your international peers.

Our workshops and training courses offer professional development opportunities related to administrative, technical, management and paedogogical roles. Many take the form of Erasmus Staff Weeks, incorporating a short visit to another member to meet your coleagues and learn together.

Building the CIVIS community through learning

The CIVIS Internationalisation Academy encompasses a range of initiatives that support staff mobility and community-building.

The CIVIS Academy includes an annual international conference, staff weeks, job shadowing opportunities and communities of practice (CoP).

These activities strengthen the professional capacities of staff and create a vibrant community that encourages the exchange of knowledge, best practices, and innovation across borders.

Through participation in these initiatives, staff members gain a deeper understanding of international educational systems, strengthen institutional networks, and contribute to the overall mission of CIVIS: to foster a more inclusive, cooperative, and resilient European higher education area.

I really enjoyed my Erasmus+ stay. I felt warmly welcomed and found many professional connections. There was valuable exchange in administration, teaching, and research. I shared my projects and learned from others. Best of all, we launched several collaborations and still work together

A great opportunity to exchange ideas with representatives from HR departments within CIVIS alliance. It was inspiring to learn about innovative approaches and best practices and to discuss future joint projects. The exchange opened new perspectives and provided valuable inspiration for my own work
