How to set off into the world from BUT? The Mov’in Europe fair had the answers

Experiences from study stays abroad, academic adventures, and travel tips. The Mov’in Europe event, held on Wednesday, October 15, at the Faculty of Business, Brno University of Technology, presented the international programs the university offers and the different types of mobility available to students and staff.

The event was organized by the student association ESN BUT Brno (Erasmus Student Network), and its main goal was to provide participants with comprehensive information on opportunities to study or work abroad. “I would definitely consider this year’s Mov’in a success – especially thanks to the increased attendance at the lectures, new interesting partners, and participants’ engagement in the game. I hope we managed to bring international mobility closer to students and help them overcome their hesitation about whether studying abroad is right for them,” said event organizer Tereza Kelnerová.

Participants learned about mobility programs offered by the university, from Erasmus+ to lesser-known programs such as CEEPUS or AKTION, and were inspired by the experiences of their peers who had visited foreign universities through these programs. Those interested had the chance to gain an authentic insight into what study stays abroad entail and what benefits they can bring. At the fair itself, visitors could even chat with international students currently on Erasmus in Brno and get more first-hand insights.

Those interested in studying abroad also appreciated the opportunity to meet the university’s International Office, which coordinates all mobility programs at BUT. “There are also special programs called BIPs, which combine a virtual and a physical part. In practice, it usually looks like this – students complete online tasks and then travel for a short-term stay at one of our partner universities abroad. Within the BIP framework, you can travel throughout the European Union and even beyond – often to places like Japan, Korea, or America,” explained a representative of the department during the presentation.
