World Wide EPS Meeting 2020

On 25 and 26 November 2020, the Higher Polytechnic School of the University of Lleida is organising the fourth World Wide EPS Meeting (WWEPS).

The Higher Polytechnic School of the University of Lleida considers the process of internationalisation of the centre to be an essential aspect both for its own establishment and consolidation as a centre of reference and for the professional future of its students. This process must allow us to face the future with optimism and with a global vision open to the world.

The future professionals coming out of the Polytechnic School must be able to face their future professional challenges with the maximum guarantee of success, understanding and visualising in a global way the real and excellent work opportunities offered at European and world level.

This desire for internationalisation is centred on four main lines of action: The internationalisation of the institution in all its areas of action (teaching, research and transfer), the internationalisation of all members of the university community, the internationalisation of research and transfer and the consolidation of solid, high-quality international destinations for our students.

It is precisely in this last line of action that the World Wide EPS Meeting is framed.

This is an international meeting of universities with which the Polytechnic School maintains collaborative links with the following objectives:

To deepen this mutual knowledge in order to strengthen these links.
To encourage and motivate the students of the centre to move, giving them first-hand information about the possible international mobility destinations available to them.
Create and strengthen existing synergies, both at teaching and research level with the different universities (creation of international double degrees, request for joint research projects, etc.).

This year, due to the health situation caused by COVID-19, the WWEPS Meeting cannot be held in person and will be held in virtual format. To facilitate all this "online" management, a specific website for the event has been opened, which can be found in the international section of the website: http://www.wwepsmeeting.udl.cat/.

We encourage you to visit it! You will find the general programme of the activity, links to the videoconference sessions with the international universities, a history with the best of the previous editions and much more!
