These editions of the Staff Training Week, one in Portuguese language and two in English language, are open to administrative staff from different departments such as International Cooperation, Information Technologies, Communication, Legal Department, Academic Affairs, Human Resources and Library. With an intensive programme focused in the expansion of cooperation (through new tools and financial possibilities), this capacity building will offer an enriching international and intercultural learning experience and the opportunity to discuss interesting and important topics related to each department fields of interest. The activities will comprise a range of issues through interactive group sessions including workshops and short certificated training courses, among others. With this initiative, we wish to open the University of Porto to our partners and other foreign universities in order to strengthen international cooperation by encouraging the exchange of best practices and experiences.
