Second Session
The second session focused on topics such as patents, technology commercialization from universities, European projects, international relations, staff exchanges, and online education platforms, among others.
The EXPER purpose
The Staff Exchange programme provided an invaluable opportunity for ULPGC and UAc personnel to gain insights into successful strategies implemented by UROS. The sharing of experiences and best practices serves as a catalyst for collaboration and continuous improvement in the participating institutions.
The EXPER project aims to enhance the capabilities and competitiveness of Widening Higher Education Institutions by promoting knowledge transfer, talent attraction, and research excellence. Through initiatives like the Staff Exchange programme, the project facilitates international cooperation and the exchange of innovative ideas as well as benefiting students, researchers, and the broader academic community.
