During the IW, incoming teachers will be assigned to give lectures and/or lead seminars and practical sessions for students from different LSU study programmes based on their offered teaching topics.
The IW participants will also have an opportunity to meet colleagues from other academic institutions to share good practice, learn and get inspired by each other, and build new partnership networks for future collaboration.
