International Staff Week 2018

6 marzo 2023

International Erasmus+ Staff Training Week at the Miguel Hernández University of Elche

May 21-25, 2018

Our third International Staff Week was held from May 21-25, 2018. During this edition, we presented our special project, “Healthy University,” with the main objective of sharing and exchanging information about healthy living. Among other things, we also highlighted UMH services and offered interesting activities, such as The Art of Cooking Spanish Tapas Welcome Dinner and a visit to the picturesque coastal town of Altea.

Welcoming so many colleagues from European universities was a pleasure; it was an opportunity to experience life at our school as well as in Elche and its surrounding area, and to learn from other experiences.

Here we offer you a summary about the participants’ opinions of the event.

We are very satisfied with the results and we hope we can meet you in 2020.

Let’s work together!

The UMH main campus is located in the city of Elche. Elche is the Valencian Community’s third largest, and it possesses two UNESCO World Heritage sites, the Palmeral of Elche and the Mystery Play of Elche. Incoming students highlight its significant cultural and leisure options: Elche boasts several museums, a college town atmosphere in its city center, and peace and quiet in the Altabix neighborhood (the UMH campus is located there). Elche is in a truly privileged location, 20 km from Alicante. It is in a strategic position, forming, together with other nearby towns, the southern axis of the Mediterranean Arc, a dynamic district in both demographic and economic terms. The road network connecting Elche to the provinces of Alicante and Murcia is in good condition, and a functional transportation system exists via air, rail, and bus.

 

Altea

Altea is the UMH’s most artistic campus, located in the privileged Mediterranean environment of the Marina Baixa. One unique feature of this campus is that it is exclusive to the university’s Faculty of Fine Arts. This campus has been designed to respond to two realities: the integration of students and instructors into the inspiring landscape wherein it is found, and the will to meet the specific requirements of a fine arts education. Among other installations, the Altea campus has a forging workshop, spaces dedicated to new media, an experimentation laboratory, artistic foundry, and image and sound studios.
