The Faculty of Bioscience Engineering of Ghent University is pleased to invite colleagues from our partner universities to participate in the staff week “Sustainable Mobility in Higher Education: From Policy to Practice”, taking place from 26 to 29 October 2026.
This staff week is embedded within the International Days of the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering and will focus on how higher education institutions can foster more sustainable approaches to mobility, internationalisation and collaboration.
The programme combines interactive workshops, discussions on sustainability policies, good-practice exchanges, networking opportunities and hands-on sessions on organising sustainable events and staff weeks. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from colleagues across Europe and share experiences from their own institutions.
