I’m a professor at the University of Orléans, where I get to combine two of my biggest passions: international collaboration and cutting-edge doctoral research. Over the years, I’ve spent a lot of time building bridges between our university and other universities in the world. On the research side of things, my main focus is guiding PhD candidates through the exciting, yet often intense, journey of their doctoral degrees. I’ve had the privilege of mentoring quite a few international researchers, helping them navigate everything from complex methodologies to cross-cultural academic life. For me, there’s nothing more rewarding than watching a PhD student grow into a confident, independent scholar. That is exactly why I’m so excited about joining this upcoming International Week. It feels like the perfect place to connect and learn from colleagues around the globe. Specifically, I desire to participate in this international week in order to share my experience on the supervision and research monitoring of doctoral students during their PhD

Hi, I'm Germana Rocco and I work at the University of Basilicata (Unibas), an institution deeply rooted in Southern Italy with a strong commitment to internationalization.

I am part of the Department of Engineering – Administration and Accounting Office. My main role involves managing administrative procedures and financial flows, overseeing research budgets and financial reporting for projects, and providing administrative support to faculty members.
This is my first Erasmus experience!!!

I've decided to participate in the 13th HMU International Week to delve into the administrative "behind the scenes" of academic cooperation.

The success of international projects often depends on the ability of offices to communicate seamlessly.

I am here to compare Unibas's administrative and accounting procedures with those of other European institutions, seeking shared solutions to make processes leaner and more efficient.
Within my Department, we have developed a "best practice" focused on transparency and real-time monitoring of research funds. We have been implementing a constant support system between the administrative-accounting office and the research office.

This method allows Principal Investigators to have an up-to-date view of budget availability and expenditure eligibility.

This approach has drastically reduced formal errors during the reporting and audit phases of both national and European projects.
The topic I am most interested in discussing is administrative simplification in higher education.

In particular, I would like to exchange views on new EU funding models and the digitalization of accounting documents.

Unibas is already successfully implementing tools such as digital signatures and digital preservation.

Understanding how European partners are managing the transition toward a "paperless" administration from an accounting perspective is of fundamental importance to me.
Beyond the technical sessions, I hope to build a network of direct contacts with my administrative counterparts.

I firmly believe that having a human and professional point of reference at partner universities greatly facilitates the resolution of bureaucratic issues.

I look forward to returning home with new management ideas, new collaborations, and, of course, new friendships formed in the stimulating environment of Chania.

Hello everyone,

My name is Barbara Fuks, and I am from the University of Economics in Katowice, Poland, where I work as a specialist in the Admissions Office. My main responsibilities include coordinating admissions for international candidates applying to our English-taught study programs. As part of the university’s Marketing Center, I am also involved in promotional activities and university visibility.

I was motivated to join the 13th International Week at HMU because it's a great opportunity to exchange experiences, learn from colleagues from different countries, and explore innovative approaches to internationalization in higher education. As my university is part of the BAUHAUS4EU alliance, this topic is particularly meaningful to me.

I am especially interested in discussing topics related to international student recruitment, student support services, and building welcoming environments that enhance the international student experience.

Beyond the sessions, I would most like to deepen my intercultural communication skills, exchange perspectives with colleagues from different backgrounds, and build valuable international connections.

One good practice from my university that I would like to share is our Welcome Point. It is a dedicated support center for international students and staff, helping them adapt to life and studies in Poland, also through the thriving Uni Buddy program. The Welcome Point provides guidance on practical matters, integration activities, and assistance that makes the transition smoother and more comfortable for newcomers.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you and sharing experiences together :)

Hello there!

I am Dirk Van Merode and I work as an international projects coordinator at the Media, Design and IT department at AP University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Antwerp, Belgium. My field of expertise is Internet of Things, my passion is international projects. I am lucky that I have been working in my passion for over 18 years now.

Lately, my focus is on projects in East-Africa, and I want to share my experience with the audience at the 13th International Week at HMU, on how to ensure that all parties benefit from the results.

As a university of applied sciences, we have much experience in applied research, in which we engage multidisciplinary student teams with external stakeholders. This might be local or international stakeholders. This way we teach our students essential soft and hard skills, while attaining our project goals. An integrated approach in international projects, student projects our and academic program helps to maximise results with limited resources.

Let us talk about this in Chania. I am looking forward to meeting passionate people, passionate about international networks, international projects and about teaching.
