Cooperation partner: ESSL FOUNDATION: Established in Austria in 2007, the Essl Foundation’s mission has been to “support social innovation, social entrepreneurship and persons with disabilities”. Currently, the foundation focuses on "social projects in Austria, with an emphasis on the inclusion of persons with disabilities in the open labor market, in accessibility and inclusive education".

Are you interested in gaining international experience, meeting people from other countries, making new contacts and putting your foreign language skills to the test? Or maybe you want to find out what it’s like to work in diverse teams, solving problems together. If you think it’s a bit too soon for you to spend a semester or do an internship abroad, or you’re unable to spend several months in another country because of family or work commitments, then an international week is the perfect choice.

Take the chance to meet people from different backgrounds and countries, and learn how to collaborate in a team using a variety of approaches to achieve results. You can pick up international learning experience even if it's not possible for you go abroad.

The virtual event will be live for two complete days (May 7 and 8, 2021) and will stay online afterwards to make sure everyone can attend no matter the time zone. As global provider of events and student consulting, we have long-standing expertise and great success in student recruitment. Our team consists of international consultants and study abroad advisors, who have all spent at least one year abroad – either for internships, study abroad experience, work & travel or language courses.
