The 1st Internationalization Congress will be held in Gdańsk on May 13-14, 2024.

In less than two months, the 1st Internationalization Congress will be held in Gdańsk. The event, organized under the honorary patronage of the Minister of Science, will open a broad debate with the academic and scientific community on the shape of the national strategy for the internationalization of higher education. Several hundred people: employees of Polish and foreign universities, representatives of national councils and state authorities, but also people who work with students and scientists from abroad on a daily basis will discuss for two days how to wisely manage the internationalization of education at Polish universities.

Rumbley, Director of Development, Knowledge and Research at EAIE, Dr. Kai Sicks, Secretary General of DAAD, Dr. Jakob Calice, Managing Director of the Austrian OeAD, Michal Fedák, Executive Director of the Slovak SAIA and Dr. Minna Kelhä, Director General of the Finnish OPH.
