my recent visit to tromso was a truly enriching experience. during my stay, i had the privilege of meeting dedicated professionals at uit's department of biology and presenting exciting opportunities for student exchange and research collaboration at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . i was impressed by the keen interest shown by uit colleagues in fostering undergraduate student exchange. the potential for research collaboration, especially in the field of ecology, was evident, and discussions with experts like dr. braathen and dr. jaakola were particularly inspiring.

my presentation to undergraduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 about biology opportunities at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 was very well received by the enthusiastic 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 . attending a captivating presentation at the natural history museum of tromso on arctic and alpine plant gardening with dr. cooper added another layer to my visit. it was the most informative and entertaining presentation with spectacular examples of gardening of flowering plants covering the global northern latitudes. the visit wasn't just about work; i experienced the local culture, enjoyed the diverse weather, and was treated to a delightful dinner with reindeer meat, courtesy of dr. cooper.

i was very glad that i was given the opportunity to represent 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 and attend the international staff week hosted by rennes school of business, the partner institution of our first-ever international dual degree at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 . as a professor, while i had participated in international guest professor programs in finland and germany before, this was the first time i attended an event focusing on sharing experience related to international mobility, in which i found very value-adding and interesting. i was able to visit the campus of rennes school of business, the city of rennes, as well as the nearby attractions (saint-malo and mont-saint-michel). this allows me to provide better information to our prospective international dual degree 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , especially when it comes to promoting events and information sessions about the international dual degree. through the international staff week, i also learned many new things about international mobility, best practices for managing culture shocks, and how to better prepare outbound 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 for exchanges and welcome inbound 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 . this definitely helps me, especially with the expected increase in international student and exchange student enrolment given all the new and ongoing efforts in building transfer credit agreements, international pathways, and international dual degrees.

pforzheimthe visit was amazing and an extremely valuable experience for me. i was very glad that the visit was possible after about two years of covid-19 travel restrictions. i was able to visit the campus in-person and meet some of hochschule pforzheim’s faculty members and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , as well as a couple of other international guest professors. while i was there, i also initiated a discussion about a potential international dual degree between hochschule pforzheim and 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , and i am hoping that the discussion will continue and eventually lead to additional forms of collaborations between the two institutions. through the visit, the meetings, and the teaching, i was able to learn a lot about the german education system and german culture, as well as to visit the city of pforzheim and a few other nearby cities. i also visited the black forest region of germany, which was truly beautiful. moreover, i enjoyed visiting their historical buildings and their old towns. i would definitely visit hochschule pforzheim again if i were given another opportunity to do so in the future.
