Drafting the Perfect Welcome Journey

InComm Project End Conference

Hosted by UPC Barcelona, Spain: November 28-29, 2022

The InComm project developed a more inclusive welcome process at the partners universities, where students and staff from all backgrounds feel welcome in one international identity, to become truly international universities. So we wanted to share these findings in our InComm Project End Conference!

More than 80 participants of universities and institutions all over Europe gathered at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Spain to learn more about the InComm project and all tools developed, but also to exchange ideas and thoughts in a number of interactive sessions. In two days, the participants were invited to learn how to improve the welcome process for Master’s students and PhD candidates at their own institutions, with inspiring best practices, hand-on tools and new connections.
