On 11-12 June, Oleksandr Shtanhret, an employee of the Office for International Studies and Student Services, represented Maria Curie-Skłodowska University at the "Shaping Student Mobility Beyond 2027" conference in Brussels.
The meeting brought together representatives of the European Commission, Erasmus+ National Agencies, universities and experts responsible for the development of digital student mobility in Europe.
UMCS is one of the ESCI Champions 2025–2027 – universities recognized as leaders in the implementation of the digitization initiative of the Erasmus+ Programme. During the conference, the official award ceremony took place, and as an ESCI Champion, UMCS took direct part in consultations on the future of academic mobility and the next edition of the Erasmus+ Programme for 2028–2035.

Unfortunately, due to the condition of the court and the announced rainfall, we are forced to postpone the WPiD CUP III OPEN tournament to June 19 (Friday) 2026. The hours of the event remain unchanged (9:00 - 16:00).
