Some representatives from these centers are meeting this week at the UB in the International Staff Training Week, with universities from Syria, Kazakhstan, Palestine, Russia, Jordan, Morocco, Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China and Greece.

This meeting, with sessions at the Faculty of Chemistry and at the Historical Building will serve to tackle academic issues with credit recognition, reception of students who come in the exchange program -in particular the refugees- as well as topics related to sustainability and project quality.

Since the Erasmus+ program started, thirteen students of the UB have studied in countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada and Russia, while other fifteen students came to the UB. Regarding the academic and research staff and the administration and services staff, the UB has received twenty-three people and five members of the UB staff went to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Russia.
 
The Erasmus+ program is focused on the formal and informal learning going further from the EU frontiers, with vocation in internationalization and aiming to get to third countries in order to improve educational and training skills as well as the employability for the students, teachers and staff.
