ENLIGHT staff weeks are opportunities for professional development and international peer learning supporting. The aim of these staff weeks is to widen professional horizons, boost networking and cooperation across ENLIGHT.

Each ENLIGHT university will organise a two-to-five-day Staff Week training every academic year. The trainings will take place on site and cover a wide range of topics from funding to career services. Please explore our Staff Week calendar with a variety of training options for support staff members of the network. Funding for mobility costs is covered by Erasmus+ KA131. 

 Why organise a staff week? 

1. Enhance Collaboration Across Institutions: Staff weeks foster cross-institutional relationships and teamwork, promoting a unified approach to educational support and sharing best practices among universities in ENLIGHT.

2. Professional Development and Training: These events provide professional development opportunities, helping support staff to upgrade their skills, stay current with the latest technologies and methodologies and better support the academic community.

3. Cultural Exchange and Diversity Awareness: Bringing together staff from different cultural backgrounds enhances understanding and appreciation of diverse perspectives, enriching the educational environment and fostering a more inclusive campus.

4. Innovation and Best Practices Sharing: Staff weeks are platforms for sharing innovative solutions and best practices, leading to the adoption of effective strategies and the improvement of services across the alliance.
