Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences

🌍 Erasmus+ without borders! 🇭🇷

Did you know that Split is the second-largest city in Croatia, and its historic centre, including Diocletian’s Palace, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site?

It is in Split that Ms. Małgorzata Glińska-Przysowa, educator at Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences, is taking part in a Staff Week organised by Aspira University of Applied Sciences as part of the Erasmus+ programme.

The first day of the event was dedicated to presentations by participating institutions from different countries. Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences also had the opportunity to present its activities and international experience.

This year’s mobility focuses on communication with international students, challenges related to supporting them, and the search for effective solutions implemented by higher education institutions across Europe.

We keep our fingers crossed for the upcoming days filled with inspiring meetings and valuable experiences! 💚

Rector Dr. Katarzyna Strzała-Osuch, Professor at PANS, is representing Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences during a visit to our partner institution, Sathyabama University in Chennai, India, as part of the Erasmus+ programme.

The first day of the visit was dedicated to exploring the campus and meeting with representatives of the Nursing and Management departments. Discussions focused on both ongoing cooperation and future activities and projects to be developed jointly by our institutions.

The visit to Chennai also provides an opportunity to exchange experiences, learn more about the operation of one of the region’s leading universities, and discuss further areas of international cooperation.

The coming days will include additional meetings with university representatives and discussions on joint initiatives and future projects between Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences and Sathyabama University. 💚

🌍 Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences at the International Week in Coimbra

In May 2026, Ms. Patrycja Krajnik, lecturer at Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences, represented the University during the International Week hosted by the University of Coimbra in Portugal.

As part of the event programme, she delivered a presentation focused on nursing in Poland and the role of nurses in transplant nursing. The presentation provided an opportunity to showcase Polish experience in nursing education and highlight the importance of nurses in caring for patients undergoing transplantation.

The International Week also included workshops, thematic meetings and networking sessions, fostering the exchange of knowledge, experiences and good practices among representatives of higher education institutions from various countries.

Thank you for proudly representing Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences on the international stage! 💚

🌎Erasmus+ without borders – another chapter of our mobility in Brazil 🇧🇷

The following days of the mobility programme carried out by representatives of Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences at UFF - Universidade Federal Fluminense were marked by intensive discussions, exchange of experiences and building strong foundations for future international cooperation. 💼

The programme included presentations of the partner universities participating in the mobility. We had the pleasure of presenting Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences, its history, development strategy, international activities and opportunities for future cooperation. We also had the opportunity to learn more about the activities of Universidade Federal Fluminense and partner institution from Lisbon – Universidade Europeia, which provided an excellent platform for exchanging best practices and discussing the common challenges facing modern higher education institutions.

Particularly valuable were the meetings focused on university internationalization, student and staff mobility, as well as opportunities for developing joint educational, scientific and social projects. Although our institutions differ in culture, educational systems and everyday academic realities, it quickly became clear that we share many common goals, values, and ambitions.

One of the most interesting observations from our stay in Brazil concerns international communication. It is estimated that only around 10% of the country's population can communicate effectively in English. Considering that Brazil is home to more than 220 million people, this highlights the scale of the challenge associated with internationalization and the development of global partnerships. It makes us even more appreciative of the fact that, despite language barriers, we were able to establish valuable connections and initiate discussions on concrete initiatives that may be developed together in the future. 🫂

The mobility concluded with a certificate award ceremony and a summary of a week filled with inspiration, new experiences, and international networking. We are returning from Brazil with new ideas, new contacts and a strong belief that international cooperation is not only about signed agreements, but above all about people, relationships, and a shared willingness to create something meaningful together. 🫂

It has been an incredibly valuable experience that will undoubtedly lead to further initiatives between our institutions. We look forward to sharing the outcomes of this cooperation with you very soon.

This mobility was carried out within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme.

💙 Obrigado, Brasil! See you again soon! 💚💛

🌍 South Africa Culture Festival at our university – thank you for joining us!

Thank you to everyone who took part in discovering the culture of South Africa with us. The programme included a presentation about the country, a Kahoot quiz with prizes, and refreshments that gave participants an opportunity to experience new flavours.

The event once again highlighted the diversity and international character of the Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences community 💚

Thank you for being with us, and we look forward to seeing you at our future cultural festivals!

🌎🇧🇷 Erasmus+ without borders!

The Director for Cooperation and Image and the Head of Organizational and Administrative Affairs are proudly representing Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences during an Erasmus+ mobility at our partner institution – UFF - Universidade Federal Fluminense.

The first days of the visit have been intensive and full of inspiring experiences. The mobility began with an introduction to the campus and organizational structure of one of Brazil’s largest public universities, meetings with the International Relations Office team, and networking opportunities with academic mobility participants from Ireland and other countries around the world.

An important part of the visit has been discussions on internationalization strategies, best practices in international cooperation, and opportunities for developing future joint initiatives between our institutions. The programme has also provided a valuable opportunity to exchange experiences related to university operations, student support services, and building an engaged academic community. Additionally, a meeting with a representative of the university’s Public Relations Office offered inspiring ideas that may be implemented at PAAS in the future.

As part of the mobility programme, a PAAS representative also delivered a lecture on Sustainable Development and Gender Equality, presenting European experiences and perspectives on these important global challenges.

The main objective of this visit is to further strengthen cooperation with Universidade Federal Fluminense, deepen the relationship between our institutions, and initiate new educational, scientific and social projects.

We believe that international partnerships are one of the best ways to create modern, open and innovative higher education. We wish our representatives continued success throughout the mobility and look forward to the outcomes of this valuable collaboration! 💚
