TUAS International Week brings together both teachers and students from the fields of health and well-being, business, ICT and technology, giving a unique opportunity to build concrete and true multiprofessional cooperation across different disciplines. We welcome you to share your expertise with the participants of the week by giving a lecture or workshop or in other ways actively contributing to the programme of the week.

The week will give you the opportunity to exchange ideas and plan future cooperation with our teachers, staff and R&D-experts as well as share your expertise with our students. Part of the programme is organized together with the both faculties giving the guests an opportunity for multiprofessional cooperation.

The both faculties organize their own conference days based on the lectures, workshops and / or presentations of the guests as well as our own staff.   Feel free to send us your case study presentation, a workshop or a lecture. Please note that the audience will be multidisciplinary.

As part of the programme we will organize an auction where you can pitch (max 5 min.) your cooperation or project idea e.g. RDI, study modules, best practices and find partners. The week will give an opportunity to build future cooperation on these ideas.
