Testimonials
A great opportunity to trial the system and learn about how it has helped universities that are already using it.
Getting information from people who have been working very closely on these tools and could answer questions easily.The people presenting were very enthusiastic and clearly had a passion for the project which is inspiring.
We had the opportunity to exchange with colleagues from other institutions and get a better insight into the digital Tools.
I enjoyed the networking part, the breaks were very useful to get to know our current and potential partners, and to exchange ideas for Erasmus.
The clarity and openness of speakers who were truly excellent and motivated us to implement the tools at our institution.
