The Call-for-Moderators and the Call-for-Students to participate in the 4th<\/sup> VE Week will open soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The virtual exchange is a great opportunity to experiment interacting in an international environment \u2013 especially if you have considered applying for a traditional student exchange. Participating in the VE Week does not require an advanced knowledge base in natural sciences. More important is to be interested in climate change-related issues and workshopping in an international team. The VE Week is open to students of all fields coming from EU and EU Neighbourhood countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re interested to act as a moderator in the 4th<\/sup> VE Week, you can register through the web-form here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note also: Students who participated in the 3rd<\/sup> VE Week (October 2025) can apply to be moderators during the 4th<\/sup> VE Week (February 2026). Moderators may earn 2 ECTS credits for their role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
