Call for INGENIUM Students to participate in BEST International Symposium at TUIASI
TUIASI and BEST (Board of European Students of Technology), INGENIUM associated partner, invites INGENIUM students to join the International Symposium “Empowered Diversity: International Mobility, Wellbeing, and Inclusive Campus Cultures”, an innovative 12-day international experience held in Iasi, Romania.
The on-site event offers interested students a unique opportunity to understand how mobility, wellbeing, and inclusive practices shape student life across European universities. Organised by BEST Iași branch, the symposium brings together students from across the alliance and beyond for collaborative learning, reflection, and intercultural exchange.
Join the BEST International Experience
Over 12 intensive days, participants will explore how international mobility shapes student development, wellbeing, and inclusive campus cultures across Europe.
The programme combines short theoretical inputs on Erasmus+ and other mobility formats with interactive group work and collaborative workshops. Working in mixed international teams, students will analyse mobility systems at their home universities, compare experiences, and reflect on barriers such as access, language challenges, academic recognition, and student support.
The symposium concludes with practical recommendations developed by participants to help strengthen international mobility and inclusion across European higher education.
Rather than traditional lectures, this is a hands-on, student-driven experience built on dialogue, intercultural exchange, and collaborative learning.
