From 21 to 25 October 2024, the Faculty of Economics of VŠB-TUO organized the 15th International Week, this year for the first time in the new premises of the Faculty of Economics on the VŠB-TUO campus. The traditional annual event was attended by 19 foreign participants from 7 countries.
Students could attend a total of 18 lectures by foreign teachers with different topics across all fields of study offered by our faculty, for example in the areas of marketing, management, economics or finance. The lectures were held within the standard teaching schedule in individual subjects, not just as an extension outside the regular teaching. The benefit of these lectures lay not only in the teaching in English, but above all in the opportunity to encounter other forms, methods and content of the curriculum.
Informal social events, such as a tour of the university campus or a visit to a theatre performance of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, were also an important part of the week.
As every year, this year's International Week provided an opportunity for confrontation of ideas and experiences. There is no doubt about the benefits of face-to-face meetings for networking or deepening existing collaborations in teaching and research.
We thank all participants for coming and look forward to seeing you next year.
