We are delighted to invite you to our WiSo Staff Week, taking place from 12-16 October 2026 in Cologne!
Internationalisation starts here: Today’s Ideas. Tomorrow’s Impact
In a world where internationalisation is becoming increasingly complex, this staff week shines a spotlight on its positive potential and on what works in everyday practice. Aimed at professionals in international offices, student services, recruitment and international career services, the programme offers hands-on workshops, interactive discussions and opportunities for peer exchange on approaches that go beyond concepts and strategy papers. Participants will explore tools, solutions and initiatives that enhance the appeal, effectiveness, and resilience of internationalisation in an evolving global landscape – while discovering our dynamic Rhine-metropolis on occasion of the 125-year anniversary as WiSo Faculty.
All details are available on the Staff Week website, where you will also find the application link.
Applications are still open – please submit yours by 30 April 2026.
Please feel free to share this information with any colleagues at your institution who may be interested.
We look forward to welcoming you to Cologne and introducing you to our Faculty and city!
Please don’t hesitate to contact us, if you have any questions.
