After sending its first erasmus students to Finland and Romania and signing 15 erasmus agreements with 10 different countries, Izmir University started to implement the erasmus staff training program. Aslı Kuşoğlu from the international relations office visited University of Piteşti, Romania during the dates 21-15 November. During her training visit, Kuşoğlu examined the general workload of the international office, managing incoming-outgoing student procedures and made several observations.  She also had the opportunity to compare these practices with Izmir University processes.

Kuşoğlu stated that meeting with the international officer Ramona Alecu has been very helpful. She also had the chance to meet Erasmus students Ayberk Kaynak and Çağrı Duygu from Izmir University, who are currently studying at Pitesti.

Izmir University will soon start to implement teaching staff mobility, hosting professionals in their fields.
