International Teaching Week: Around 30 guest lecturers from more than 10 countries teach at Hof University
For the first time since 2019 and the end of the Corona pandemic, Hof University welcomed once again international guest lecturers for the International Teaching Week (ITW) from 08 to 12 May 2023.
Professors and guest lecturers from Hof University's partner institutions and universities around the world visit the university and its campuses every two years as part of International Teaching Week. The international lecturers hold lectures and workshops in their respective fields for one week. Students at Hof University thus have the opportunity to gain international experience and further their education even without a stay abroad.
With their buddy professors from Hof University, the guest lecturers also exchanged ideas with each other in greater depth with regard to teaching, but also with regard to initiating joint projects or research projects. The ITW was accompanied by a comprehensive social program, where the international guests can, for example, got to know the Hof campus and the Maker Space of the university with its innovative possibilities, visit Dresden or intensify discussions at a traditional Weißwurst breakfast. In addition, the program included a visit to the Amazon Logistics Center located near Hof. This year, the guest lecturers came from various countries in Europe, including Italy, the Netherlands and France, the Americas (USA, Mexico, Peru and Brazil), North Africa (Tunisia), Central Asia (Kazakhstan), Asia (Thailand) and India.
