"One Knowledge. One Future.": The International Teaching Week at THWS
"One Knowledge. One Future.": This was the motto of this year's International Teaching Week (ITW) at the Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS). Professors, guest lecturers of partner universities from all around the world visited THWS for a week to share current insights from teaching and research.
The cross-faculty event was organised by the International Office (HSIN). Head of HSIN Dr. Daniel Wimmer concludes: "The international week 2024 was able to meet the pre-pandemic expectations. Nearly 70 guests from 18 different countries participated in six faculties and the central administration. We are really glad that so many of our international colleagues have come to Würzburg and Schweinfurt to support us in promoting the internationalisation processes at THWS."
Global networking made easy
The ITW offered students the opportunity to gain international perspectives, participate in varied keynote speeches, and make valuable contacts for their studies – all without having to go abroad. Exchange was also promoted by interactive workshops on current topics from science and practice. Laimonas Adomavicius, guest lecturer of Kauno Kolegija Higher Education Institution (Kaunas, Lithuania) sums up his impressions of the ITW: "I was very glad to participate in the ITW: On the one hand I enjoyed sharing my knowledge with students; on another hand, this week has been a great source for me for new ideal, insights and connections with professors from all over the world."
