Our admissions landscape is changing rapidly. This dedicated week is designed to give you the modern toolkit needed to navigate these shifts and thrive in your role.

Let's engage in meaningful discussions, interactive workshops, and knowledge-sharing sessions.

• Where: Hosting Higher Education Institution Utrecht University, the Netherlands (NL UTRECHT01)
• Who: All admissions staff are encouraged to attend. Max 20 participants
• Cost: No registration fee
   

An opportunity to take the time to rethink and compare processes; to exchange ideas and draw inspiration from best practices.

I attended last year and met inspiring colleagues who shared fresh ideas and practical solutions for international admissions. The hands-on workshops and group brainstorming sessions were exactly what I needed. I highly recommend this Staff Week to anyone working in international admissions – it is an opportunity to grow professionally, gain new perspectives, and build meaningful connections.
