As part of the activities of the Centre for Higher Education Research at the Jagiellonian University, the research group “Well-being in the Academic Environment” operates. Over the past year, the group’s work has encompassed the development of methodological assumptions, research tools, and the initial analysis of good practices supporting the well-being of members of the academic community at higher education institutions in Poland. The research conducted by the team adopts both an institutional perspective and the perspectives of students and staff, taking into account the complex organisational, relational, and systemic conditions shaping the functioning of universities.

The current stage of the research includes the completion of a desk research study focused on good practices related to broadly understood well-being among the first group under investigation, namely students at Polish higher education institutions. The analysis covered solutions and initiatives implemented across various areas, including organisational culture and governance, student support systems, psychological support, conditions of study and work, social relations, equality and inclusion, and initiatives fostering a sense of academic community. During the presentation, the methodology for identifying and describing good practices will be outlined, along with the adopted understanding of well-being in the academic environment.

Particular attention will be given to approaches to student support systems, analysed both as elements of formal institutional structures and as practices that operate in the everyday experience of studying. The presentation will also include preliminary findings emerging from the analyses conducted thus far by the research group.

The meeting will further address subsequent stages of the research project, including planned empirical studies, the extension of the research to additional groups within the academic community (academic staff and administrative employees), and the concept of developing a set of good practices that could be applied by higher education institutions in Poland. The presentation will serve as an invitation to further discussion and collaboration around well-being as a key component of the quality of functioning of contemporary universities.

International Mobility in an Era of Change: Strategies for Global Universities

On-site session with the participation of representatives of the IROs Forum network.

Academic mobility has long been one of the key pillars of the internationalisation of higher education. In recent years, however, its role has taken on a new dimension – not only as a means of student and staff exchange, but also as a strategic driver of institutional development in a rapidly evolving global academic environment. This session will focus on these transformations and on the new perspectives that are emerging for universities in the field of academic mobility.

During the session, participants will explore both well-established, traditional forms of mobility – such as international exchange programmes, joint and double degree schemes, and short-term educational visits – as well as new, increasingly important hybrid and digital solutions. Remote international collaboration, virtual mobility, and participation in cross-border projects are becoming a genuine complement and in some cases an alternative, to physical mobility, responding to the needs of today’s students, researchers and institutions.

The session will demonstrate how academic mobility can be consciously and strategically used as a tool for building an institution’s image and brand, while strengthening its visibility and recognition in the international arena. Participants will reflect on how to plan mobility activities in a way that is fully aligned with an institution’s internationalisation strategy, organisational structure and long-term development goals. Particular attention will be paid to the shared responsibility of all actors involved in mobility processes – both at the institutional and individual levels – with a strong emphasis on ethics, transparency and informed decision-making in the context of international partnerships.

The session will conclude with a reflection on the future of academic mobility at Polish universities, its role in shaping internationalisation strategies, strengthening institutional brands, and responsibly building global academic cooperation. This session is an invitation to all those who wish to view mobility not merely as part of an educational offer, but as a consciously designed instrument for the development of a modern, internationally engaged university.

The discussion will be attended by:

mgr Katarzyna Baron-Lisiakiewicz – Head of the International Relations Office, Cracow University of Technology;
mgr Dominika Dankiewicz – Head of the International Relations Office, University of Agriculture in Krakow;
mgr Edyta Gałecka – Head of the International Relations Office, University of Economics in Katowice;
mgr Paweł Świerk – Director of the Centre for International Affairs, AGH University in Kraków;
moderator: dr eng. Izabela Zawiska – Director of the Center for International Cooperation, Jagiellonian University in Kraków – President of the IROs Forum.

Who Can Take Part in Mobility? A Student Debate on Inclusive Mobility

debate on-siteGrodzka 52 – Czytelnia Biblioteki Instytutu Socjologii UJ, sala kominkowa (I piętro)

Host: dr Ewa Krzaklewska

Event description:

This event is held in Polish.

The aim of the debate is to jointly develop proposals for solutions that increase the accessibility of academic mobility—including participation in the Erasmus+ programme—for students from marginalised groups and those with fewer opportunities. The meeting will create a space for dialogue between the student community and representatives of university decision-making structures, enabling the direct sharing of experiences, needs, and recommendations.

During the debate, participants will address barriers to accessing mobility programmes, such as financial constraints, recognition of courses completed abroad, complex administrative procedures, inaccessible or unclear information and communication, as well as social and psychological barriers. The discussion will focus on proposed systemic and organisational solutions, including the development of mentoring and buddy programmes, greater flexibility in financial support schemes, and better alignment of mobility policies with the diverse needs of students. The debate will be attended by representatives of organisations and the student community, academic administrative staff of the Jagiellonian University, as well as representatives of the university authorities.

The conclusions developed during the debate will be used in further research and recommendation activities within the DIEM project and will be shared with university authorities and units responsible for the implementation of mobility programmes.

The debate is organised as part of the DIEM project (Diversity & Inclusion in Erasmus+ Mobility), funded by the Erasmus+ programme. The event will be inter-faculty, participatory, and bottom-up in nature – it will be initiated and co-organised by students, in cooperation with selected university administrative units, academic mobility support institutions, and the Rector’s authorities of Jagiellonian University.

The presentation will begin with the question of how to choose an exam format that matches what we truly want to assess: when we are testing knowledge, when we are assessing reasoning, and when we are evaluating practical and communication competencies.
The next part of the session will address difficulties stemming from AI-driven changes in the ecosystem of motivation and behaviour: pressure for “efficiency” is increasing, evidence of independent work is harder to obtain, and the rules defining the permissible scope of AI use (set at the level of a course, programme, or university)—sometimes imprecise and underdeveloped—are interpreted differently by instructors and students. This, in turn, leads to inconsistency in how assessment criteria are applied and consequently weakens the sense of fairness and the comparability of results.
Practical solutions will then be discussed (brief oral defenses, follow-up questions, working with course materials, scenarios, and practical tasks), illustrated with examples from various fields of study and an original exam format.
The session will conclude with time for discussion of the proposed approaches and an exchange of experiences in academic teaching.

Are you tired of classes where the lecturer does most of the talking and the students just sit there? Do you want to really increase their engagement, responsibility for learning and the quality of learning outcomes? Did you know that your students can learn actively even before your classes? If you are interested in the idea of Student-Centred Learning, this workshop is for you.

During the workshop, I will show you how the flipped classroom changes the logic of classes: what passive students do before class, and how we use contact time for discussion, problem solving and teamwork. The workshop is practical and dynamic. Participants will see how to design a flipped classroom model step by step, learn about specific digital tools (short videos, diagnostic quizzes), find out how to link the method to learning outcomes and assessment, and exchange experiences and good practices with other academic teachers.

No theory for theory's sake. Only specific solutions that can be implemented from the next class onwards, regardless of the field of study or form of classes. If you want your classes to be more active, meaningful and truly student-centred (SCL), this workshop is for you.

Most often, their presence signals some philosophical problem - of innocent and meaningless suffering, of man’s alienation in the natural world, etc. In my talk, I will recall Gombrowicz’s most important records of encounters with animals and consider the reasons why the writer describes, for example, an eye-to-eye encounter with a cow.

Communication Through Goggles – the "Teacher-Parent Conversation VR Simulation" Program at the Jagiellonian University Teacher Training Centre

presentation on-siteWiślna 3, sala 2

Host: dr Krzysztof Piotrowski

Event description:

This event is held in Polish.

We welcome you to a presentation of the program “VR Simulation of a Teacher’s Conversation with a Student’s Parent.” During the presentation, we will showcase elements of the program designed to train communication skills in students preparing for the teaching profession. Participants will also have the opportunity to take part in a simulation using a VR headset.

Our program uses immersive virtual reality technology. Learners can experience a realistic meeting with a student’s parent. During the session, participants identify the parent’s behavior and choose appropriate communication strategies. They can also test how parents might react to poorly chosen responses. Six difficult conversation scenarios have been prepared. Each scene was filmed in 180-degree technology with professional actors.

The project was carried out within the POPOJUTRZE 3.0 – EDUCATION Innovation Incubator, project no. FERS.05.01-IZ.00-0007/23, as part of the European Funds for Social Development for Social Innovations, in cooperation with Ideacenter. A total of 81 students from four Kraków universities participated in testing. The program will be introduced into the Pedagogical Study Program starting in the winter semester of 2026/27.

Event description:

This event is held in Polish.

The presentation will be devoted to outlining the experiences of staff members of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University in organizing a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP)—a new form of short-term, intensive educational programmes implemented within the Erasmus+ framework.

A BIP combines innovative teaching methods, elements of distance learning, and international mobility of students and academic staff. The Faculty of Law and Administration was the first unit at the Jagiellonian University not only to participate in the implementation of a BIP but also to host its on-site component in Kraków.The programme comprised both several-month-long online modules, enabling participants from different countries to collaborate in a virtual learning environment, and a one-week in-person session focused on workshops, simulations, and academic discussions.

The aim of the presentation is to discuss the practical aspects of implementing a BIP, the organizational challenges encountered, and the outcomes of the programme in the context of the internationalization of legal education. The presentation seeks to demonstrate that BIPs constitute a unique educational format both for students and for tutors who, by accompanying international teams, gain new teaching experiences and expand their professional networks. The experiences of the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University may serve as an inspiration for other units planning to implement similar initiative

The presentation will focus on the Environmental Protection and Management Master's programme, which has been offered by the Faculty of Biology at the Jagiellonian University since 2020. It will focus on the challenges associated with recruiting foreign and Polish students, and their subsequent journeys through the various stages of the programme.

The presentation will show how the size and composition of student groups changes from enrolment, through participation in classes, to graduation and defence of the master's thesis. It will be emphasised that the internationalisation of the programme is not limited to delivering the complete cycle of studies in English, but also includes an open offer of English-language courses for incoming students participating in mobility programmes such as Erasmus+.

The presentation will also refer to the results of student surveys, which will complement the quantitative data with the perspective of the participants of the studies, as well as the fate of selected graduates. Overall, it will present the various dimensions of the programme's functioning within the academic environment of the Jagiellonian University and demonstrate that internationalisation of education extends beyond simple indicators of foreign student numbers.

Plain Language at the University – Impossible? Or Simply Effective?

training onlineTeams

Language: Polish
Target groups: research/teaching staff; administrative staff
Seats left: 0/50

Host: mgr Justyna Wasłowicz-Marczak; mgr Marta Bylica

Event description:

This event is held in Polish.

Plain language is a way of communicating that prioritizes clarity, understanding, and openness to the reader or listener. It helps everyone – regardless of language proficiency, cognitive abilities, or other barriers – more easily grasp the message and feel comfortable in the communication process.

Is such a way of communicating possible within a university setting? Can an institution built on tradition, rhetoric, and ritual embrace a simple, direct message focused on the recipient rather than the procedure? Or is plain language something that, by definition, does not fit the academic world’s sense of formality and gravitas?

We invite everyone who wants to communicate more effectively: within their teams, units, and also beyond – with a broad and highly diverse audience for whom university messages can sometimes be too hermetic, formal, or simply difficult.

During the training session, we will demonstrate how plain language works in academic, administrative, and institutional contexts, where a clear message is not an add-on but a tool for efficiency. You will learn about the examples of texts showing that simple does not mean simplistic, and clarity does not mean unprofessional.

Last but not least, you will be encouraged to experiment: we will ask you to simplify email, team, and institutional communication – this is exactly where we struggle daily with an overload of words, formalities, and unnecessary barriers.

We hope to see you there!

We invite you to a presentation on an academic teaching model based on the close integration of pedagogy and scientific research. The Summer School in Field Ecology (SSFE) - a joint initiative of the Jagiellonian University’s Institute of Botany, the Instituto Superior de Agronomia (University of Lisbon), and the Institute of Nature Conservation of the Polish Academy of Sciences - serves as a prime example of this approach, putting the "Open to Quality" motto into practice.

Participants will gain insights into the implementation of the research-led teaching model. Together with the Summer School's co-organizers - Prof. Patrícia María Rodríguez González (ISA) and Dr. Hanna Hajdukiewicz (IOP PAN) - we have developed a program where students become full members of research teams conducting studies within NCN (National Science Centre) and NAWA (Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange) projects.

During the presentation, we will discuss:

1. How to engage students in the scientific process - from formulating hypotheses and field data collection to advanced data analysis in R and the preparation of scientific publications.

2. How working in a culturally diverse team impacts the participants' soft skills and scientific competencies.

3. We will present the framework for the upcoming edition of the Summer School in Ponte de Lima (“Measuring success in riparian restoration: A multi-taxa approach”).

This presentation is intended for academic teachers, program coordinators, and undergraduate/graduate students. The solutions presented here can serve as inspiration for other Jagiellonian University departments aiming to raise educational standards by actively integrating students into the international scientific community.

The Discussion Panel presents two international organisations that are focused on education towards linguistic and translation services: the European Master’s in Translation Network at the Directorate General for Translation of the European Commission (EMT DGT/EU) and the Consortium for Translation Education Research (CTER).

By prioritizing the goals of researching and enhancing the quality of translation education and preparing professionals for the language industry both organisations emphasize an important issue of re-defining the concept and scope of translator/linguist competence from a didactic and research perspective and also constructing a new perception of adaptive expertise in the sector of language service provision.

During the Panel discussion, its participants from the Chair for Translation Studies at the Faculty of Philology, who are CTER and EMT research groups members, will consider the impact of membership on constructing the translator/linguist’s adaptive expertise: is there any influence at all? which ones and how specific network or consortium activities assist in constructing this expertise? The discussion is based on the studies conducted within the organisations and members’ participatory research and experience.

Panel discussion agenda:

Introduction (5 min.)
Presentation about the international network of European translation programmes at M.A. level: European Master's in Translation (EMT) (15 min.)
Presentation about the international Consortium for Translation Education Research (CTER) (15 min.)
Panel discussion about the linguist’s adaptive expertise with the participation of the members of CTER and EMT working research groups (50 min.)

Why is it particularly important today to reduce the environmental footprint of academic travels? How can this challenge be approached in a holistic way – already at the stage of mobility planning, the selection of partnerships, and the choice of travel destinations? What benefits can sustainable mobility bring not only to those who travel, but also to the socio-economic environment and the planet as a whole?

During the training, we will begin with a broad assessment of the state of the environment, the causes of the climate-ecological crisis, and possible directions for response. We will then examine the role of transport in international academic mobility and discuss systemic and institutional approaches to making it more sustainable. The session will be complemented by an analysis of a concrete case study of sustainable academic mobility, illustrating the multidimensional benefits it can generate.

The training will conclude with a discussion focused on the exchange of knowledge, experiences, and good practices.

What does internationalisation look like in everyday academic practice at the Jagiellonian University? What processes and support structures make it possible to host international scholars and experts smoothly while creating a positive and welcoming experience of cooperation? The meeting prepared by the Center for International Cooperation of the Jagiellonian University offers an insight into how internationalisation is translated into concrete, well-coordinated solutions that support both academic collaboration and the overall quality of the University’s operations.

We will present the key stages involved in hosting international visitors at the Jagiellonian University – from the initial planning of cooperation and preparation of invitations, through formal arrangements related to arrival and stay, to support provided during academic activities, including those carried out under the Visiting Professorship Programme. Participants will learn how the Center coordinates these processes to ensure they are coherent, transparent and compliant with regulations, while at the same time maintaining a friendly and visitor-oriented approach.

Particular attention will be given to the activities of the International Visitors Office, operating within the structure of the Center for International Cooperation, which serves as a first point of contact and a comprehensive support hub for international visitors, regardless of the purpose or length of their stay. This is where internationalisation meets everyday reality – through assistance with formal and legal matters, access to practical information, support in adapting to life in Poland, and close cooperation with JU units to facilitate smooth integration into the academic community. The meeting will also highlight its role as a EURAXESS Centre, emphasising the importance of professional and well-coordinated support for international researchers in strengthening Jagiellonian University’s international attractiveness. It is an invitation to explore how well-designed processes and effective contribute to high-quality international experiences reinforce the position as an open and globally engaged university.

Language: English
Target groups: students; doctoral students; research/teaching staff; other
Seats left: 15/20

Host: dr Maciej Kluza; mgr Marcin Bojda

Event description:

This event explores how the historic spaces of Collegium Maius can be used as an inspiring teaching resource for international students and doctoral candidates. The meeting will begin with an English-language guided tour of the permanent exhibition of the Jagiellonian University Museum, featuring the oldest academic interiors, a remarkable collection of scientific instruments, and objects illustrating the evolution of university traditions and the development of science. Led by one of the museum’s curators or educators, the tour will highlight the potential of heritage objects to support teaching in an international academic environment.

Following the introductory tour, participants will take part in a short brainstorming workshop. Working in small groups, they will develop ideas on how museum collections can enhance English‑medium teaching, foster intercultural competencies, and support the integration of students from diverse backgrounds. The outcome of the workshop will be a set of practical teaching activities that can be incorporated into courses across faculties at the Jagiellonian University.

The event is designed for academic staff and coordinators involved in international and English‑taught programmes. It demonstrates how the museum can serve not only as a place of historical preservation, but also as a dynamic space for dialogue, inspiration, and innovative academic practice.

The functioning of the Jagiellonian University is grounded in the work of individuals responsible for the efficient management of administrative processes that support the University’s research and teaching activities. Contemporary conditions – such as the dynamic development of digital tools, the ongoing automation of processes, including solutions based on artificial intelligence, changes in applicable legal regulations, and the growing complexity of organisational and managerial tasks – have increased the importance of competencies that enable effective, informed, and forward-looking action. An administrative framework based on appropriate competencies, institutional responsibility, and the ability to adapt to changing conditions provides a stable foundation for the University’s development and enhances decision-making processes.

In response to these challenges, the Office for Strategic Projects and the Centre for Higher Education Research at the Jagiellonian University invite the academic community – particularly managerial staff and administrative employees—to attend the presentation of the project “UJ CORE: Academy of Developmental Competencies.”

The project has a strategic character and will be implemented between 2026 and 2029 with funding from the European FERS programme. It will support nearly 500 employees of the Jagiellonian University and aims to strengthen the University’s human capital in the long term through the systematic development of competencies aligned with current organisational and institutional challenges.

The assumptions of the UJ CORE project were developed on the basis of the results of a needs assessment conducted in 2025. During the presentation, the findings of these analyses and the planned development activities implemented as part of the UJ Academy of Modern Management will be presented. The programme offers activities addressed to managerial staff and professional staff.

An important element of the meeting will also be the launch of a survey addressing specific development needs and motivations for participation in the project. The results will contribute to shaping the final scope of the training offer and to aligning project activities closely with the actual needs of employees of the Jagiellonian University.

We invite you to attend the project presentation and to participate in the project in next stages of implementation.

Sustainability is increasingly shaping how European higher education has evolved, though its implementation varies widely. In this presentation I will share findings from a mapping exercise of joint sustainability degree programmes, digital pedagogies, curricula and forms of international partnerships across selected European University Alliances (EUAs), showing how twelve alliances integrate sustainability in joint degrees, modular pathways and digital learning.

The presentation will highlight the shift toward flexible, stackable and blended programmes supported by micro‑credentials, mobility and virtual campuses. It will also demonstrate how EUAs are deepening collaborations across cities, industry and civil society to anchor learning in real‑world contexts.

While accreditation barriers, funding gaps and digital divides continue to stand in the way, the overall trend shows that sustainability is acting as a transformative force that is reshaping governance, curricula, and partnerships across the European Universities Initiative.

International Degree Programmes as a Test of Academic Quality: The Katamaran Project and the Realities of Institutional Support

debate on-siteMickiewicza 9A, sala A2 (parter)

Language: Polish
Target groups: research/teaching staff; administrative staff; students

Host: dr Anna Oczko; dr Tomasz Krupa

Event description:

This event is held in Polish.

In 2024, the Department of Romanian Philology at the Institute of Romance Philology of the Jagiellonian University received nearly PLN 300,000 in funding from the NAWA programme Katamaran – Development and Implementation of International Degree Programmes. Within the framework of this project, together with our partner institution—the West University of Timișoara—we developed a unique international second-cycle degree programme, Central European Romanian Studies, culminating in the award of a double degree. This programme in Romanian language is unprecedented in scope in both countries.

In our presentation, we aim to share our experiences from the process of designing and implementing an international degree programme, as well as to reflect on the support provided and the role played by the authorities of the Jagiellonian University in enhancing the quality of teaching and the internationalisation of academic activities at the stage of launching a new field of study. Finally, we seek to encourage discussion on whether “internationalisation” remains an academic mission underpinning the strategic foundations of the Jagiellonian University, or whether it has increasingly become a means of securing additional funding at the expense of students and the quality of education.

This event is held in Polish.

Can participation in a student research group open the door to an international scientific career? What does work in foreign laboratories look like, how does participation in prestigious international conferences shape academic development, and how can collaboration with researchers from around the world begin already at the undergraduate level?

During the event, participants will be introduced to the experiences of students and early-career researchers in the field of biomedicine who have benefited from various international mobility programmes offered at the Jagiellonian University Medical College.

The discussion panel will focus on two key stages of academic development, the student and doctoral levels presenting internationalisation as a coherent, long-term pathway rather than a one-off experience. A student member of the Student Scientific Group of Targeted Therapy and Supramolecular Systems at Jagiellonian University Medical College will share experiences related to the FERS programme ,,Support for students in developing competencies and skills”, demonstrating how active participation in a research group can lead to participation in international conferences and specialised courses, such as Cell & Experimental Biology in Boston or the EMBO Quantitative Electron Microscopy for Cell Biology course.

The panel will also present experiences related to the Erasmus+ and BioLAB programmes, including several-month research stays at partner universities in Europe and the United States. These perspectives will be complemented by reflections on presenting research results at international conferences (FEBS, ASBMB, ENABLE) and on collaboration with foreign academic institutions, including Charles University in Prague.

Subsequently, PhD. Students from the Center for Biomedicine and Interdisciplinary Sciences at Jagiellonian University Medical College will outline their development paths within the “Najlepsi z Najlepszych” programme, focusing on the role of international mobility in improving research quality, scientific independence, and preparedness for work in international research teams. They will also discuss their experiences within the NAWA Walczak programme, highlighting the importance of mobility in building international collaboration networks and shaping long-term academic career plans.

The event will take the form of an open discussion, allowing participants to explore not only the benefits but also the organisational, cultural, and institutional challenges associated with academic mobility. The panel will demonstrate how internationalisation driven by students and doctoral researchers directly contributes to the quality of education, the academic offer of attractiveness of the Jagiellonian University and the preparation of graduates for successful careers in the global labour market.

Host: lic. Natalia Szymańska; dr Ransom Ngenge; Valeria Quintana Solis; Pola Kramarzyk

Event description:

After five years of Una Europa, from 1Europe to Una.Futura, it is time to take a step back and reflect on what the alliance has meant in everyday academic practice, particularly from the perspective of students and those working closely with them.

Today, eleven universities form Una Europa, each contributing its own institutional context, national framework, and academic culture. At the same time, thousands of people across these universities, students, academics, researchers, and professional staff, bring their individual experiences, expectations, and ways of working into a shared commitment to building a truly joint European university.

This workshop aims to explore how the same Una Europa initiatives are experienced differently across countries, institutions, and working groups. Rather than presenting a unified narrative, it focuses on diversity of perspectives and the practical realities of collaboration in a multicultural, multi-system alliance.

We invite both students who are already familiar with Una Europa and those who are just beginning to discover it to reflect on how differences both challenge and strengthen our cooperation. The workshop is intentionally not designed as a promotional session, but as a space for honest reflection on the complexities of creating a joint university across borders.

Participants will discuss barriers that arise in practice, including language and communication challenges, legal and administrative constraints, and social or cultural differences. Professors, researchers, student representatives, and professional staff are invited to share their lived experience of working within an academic alliance: what works well, what slows collaboration down, what obstacles have been overcome, and which questions remain unresolved.

Through concrete, real-life examples, such as initiating a joint degree, managing sustainability goals while maintaining mobility, or coordinating academic work across multiple systems, participants will bring their day-to-day challenges into the discussion. Some of these questions are already present in ongoing debates, others are raised by students, and some may only emerge through collective reflection.

The session will take the form of a hands-on, interactive workshop. Attendees will work in mixed groups on real case studies drawn from Una Europa practice, using creative and collaborative methods to propose solutions applicable across institutional and national contexts.

The workshop will conclude with a collaborative exercise aimed at identifying common ground, shared solutions, and practical next steps that can strengthen commitment to working together within Una Europa. Participants will be encouraged to focus not only on challenges, but also on tangible progress already achieved and opportunities within reach.

The on-line meeting will focus on the practical aspects of the internationalisation of higher education at the Jagiellonian University, presented from the perspective of international graduates of Polish studies programmes. The event will open with a brief introduction by programme coordinators, followed by a discussion with alumni of the following programmes offered by the Faculty of Polish Studies: Teaching Polish as a Foreign Language, Polish Studies for Foreigners, and Polish Studies - Language, Culture and Society.

The invited graduates represent diverse academic and professional trajectories, including individuals continuing their education at advanced degree and doctoral levels, as well as alumni professionally active in Poland and abroad. Participants will share their experiences of studying at the Jagiellonian University, reflect on the competences developed during their studies (linguistic, cultural, academic and professional), and discuss how these competences are applied in their subsequent educational and professional paths.

The discussion will address the quality of education in the context of internationalisation, the role of Polish studies programmes in preparing graduates to function in an international environment, and the tangible outcomes of education from the perspective of international alumni. The event aligns with the theme “Open to Quality” by highlighting internationalisation as a process that has a meaningful impact on students’ academic and professional development.

The debate will focus on practical examples of how the outcomes of international projects implemented under the Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe programmes can be used to develop the University’s teaching capacity. The starting point for the discussion will be the question of how the potential generated by consortia can be translated into tangible benefits that enhance the quality of education. The event aims to show that international projects are not only about research and publications, but also constitute a vast—often underused—resource for teaching, including the exchange of experience among experts from around the world, innovative working methods, mobility opportunities, and inspiration for designing courses embedded in engaging research practices.

The debate will bring together people directly involved in delivering projects carried out within international consortia. The speakers will present numerous examples of implementations and good practices, such as the development of teaching infrastructure, co-creation of syllabi and educational materials with international partners, and the organisation of summer schools.

The debate also aims to initiate a forward-looking conversation: how to design future initiatives and grant proposals so that the teaching component is a deliberately embedded value—strengthening the quality of education, internationalisation, and the attractiveness of the Jagiellonian University’s educational offer. The event is open and intended to inspire: we invite programme directors and coordinators, academic teachers, PhD candidates, students, and everyone interested in seeing how international collaboration can support teaching and learning.

The workshop “The international classroom in practice – how to teach students from around the world effectively?” is addressed to academic teachers who currently teach or plan to teach courses in English. Its aim is to provide an in-depth exploration of the practical aspects of teaching in an internationalised academic environment, with particular attention to working with culturally diverse and linguistically heterogeneous student groups.

The discussion will be grounded in observations and experiences gained over several years of teaching in international and mixed student groups, including courses delivered within the Drug Discovery and Development programme at the Faculty of Pharmacy JU MC, as well as activities carried out within the international scientific student group called Braining Club, which brought together students from different countries and disciplines. Examples drawn from everyday teaching practice will be used to illustrate common challenges faced by iacademic teachers working in the so-called international classroom.

The thematic scope of the workshop will include, among others, the specific characteristics of working with multicultural groups, differences in learning styles and academic communication, approaches to assessment, and teaching students with varying levels of language proficiency. Particular attention will also be given to strategies for engaging international and Polish students within the same learning group and for fostering an environment that supports active participation and collaboration.

The event will have an interactive and discussion-based format. Participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences and to collectively reflect on practical solutions that can be implemented in their courses “from tomorrow” in order to enhance teaching quality and improve comfort and effectiveness in the international classroom.

Event description:

This event is held in Polish.

Do you ever find yourself teaching students who struggle with concentration, avoid group work, or feel overwhelmed by sensory overload? Are you wondering how to design your courses to be accessible and supportive for everyone — without lowering academic standards?

This training is dedicated to the practical aspects of teaching students with diverse cognitive profiles and educational needs. The goal of the session is to develop the competencies of academic staff in designing and conducting classes in a more accessible and inclusive manner, with a particular focus on the needs of neurominorities.

The first part of the session will examine the challenges faced by neurodivergent students, including those on the autism spectrum, those with ADHD, and those with learning difficulties. We will discuss the cognitive, sensory, organizational, and social difficulties that arise in the academic environment, as well as their consequences for class participation, the learning process, and overall student well-being.

The second part of the training will focus on bestpractices for designing and conducting neuro-friendly classes. Drawing on current research and firsthand experience, we will present specific didactic strategies, tools, and organizational solutions that support accessibility, accommodate diverse learning styles, and enhance students’ comfort and engagement.

The final part of the session will be discussion-based. Participants will exchange knowledge and teaching experiences, analyse practical cases, and collaboratively identify solutions that can be implemented in everyday teaching. The aim of this section is to develop actionable steps that genuinely support neurodiversity and help build a more neuro-inclusive academic environment.

You are warmly invited!

Internationalisation and Teaching Quality: An Obvious Link or an Academic Dogma? A Virtual Study Tour Without a Suitcase

other onlineForms

Target groups: students; doctoral students; postgraduate students; participants of the University of the Third Age; research/teaching staff; administrative staff; graduates; other
Host: dr Anna Sochocka; dr Katarzyna Grzesiak-Kopeć

Event description:

Internationalisation is often treated as an obvious proof of teaching quality: the more mobility, partnerships and “international” indicators, the better. But is it really that simple?

This is an asynchronous “Virtual Study Tour Without a Suitcase” that asks one uncomfortable question: Does internationalisation genuinely improve teaching quality leaving a trace in students’ learning and in assessment practices, and the lived experience of academic staff, or does it become little more than meeting indicators?

Participants follow a short route through six “stops” of the Indicators Campus: from rankings and KPIs, through hidden costs and barriers to mobility, to approaches such as internationalisation at home and COIL. Each stop offers a brief input and one question that confronts a systemic perspective (strategies, indicators) with an experiential one (teaching practice, constraints, wellbeing). The tour ends with a “return ticket”: a one-sentence definition of meaningful internationalisation and one small, no-travel idea participants can implement.

Event in Polish available throughout the entire Education Quality Week.
