Head of International Affairs & Erasmus Office at Eskisehir Technical University

I look forward to come together with colleagues who genuinely share the same motivation to create change; to openly discuss problems or needs and collectively work on more structured and actionable solutions. At the same time, Open Space provides a learning environment where I continue to develop new skills and meet with diverse approaches, and so I'm particularly interested in what new competencies I will build this year.

Advisor Educational Grants and Erasmus+ from Erasmus University Rotterdam

Open Space is a perfect moment to share experiences and knowledge in Erasmus+ related topics with peers and like-minded people from all over Europe. My first Open Space event was in Murcia (2024), and apart from having the most fun, I came back home with new international contacts, important tools for project management, and ideas about how to tackle some challenges on relevant calls.
