Our main aim is to share our experience within the framework of our internationalization strategy, to host new participants from EU and non-EU countries, and to find new pathways to sustain Erasmus+ mobilities. Participants connect with their peers, especially for networking. We seek active participation and would be happy to welcome colleagues from all departments and other associated fields of work. The language of International Week is English.
Also, we are organizing a trip to Hierapolis (Pamukkale, Denizli, Turkey), Şirince (a small village near İzmir), and Ephesus (famous ancient ruins near İzmir) on 7th May (arrival) and 8th May (departure). You can buy your departure tickets from İzmir. Transportation for the trip will be free, but participants will cover accommodation costs.
