Una Europa opportunities: apply for a staff exchange with your European peers
Are you working at Leiden University, and would you like to meet and share experiences with your professional peers at other European universities? That's possible, thanks to Leiden University's partnership in Una Europa — an alliance of 11 leading universities from across Europe.
In 2023, Una Europa is offering two international exchanges to non-academic staff. Apply by Friday, 30 June for the Live My Life programme or the Una Europa Staff Week! Both are part of Una Europa’s ambition to create professional development and global networking opportunities for employees of all partner institutions.
Live My Life
The Una Europa Live My Life programme matches you with a colleague working at another Una Europa university for job shadowing and peer-to-peer learning. You will connect with each other — virtually and in person — between October 2023 and March 2024. This year's call is aimed at staff working in the fields of human resources, sustainability and facilities management, as well as anyone dealing with finances for externally funded projects (e.g., Horizon, Erasmus+).

Una Europa Staff Week
Diversity and inclusion is the central theme of this year's Una Europa Staff Week. The event is aimed at employees working in the fields of human resources and student services, or other administrative areas working and providing services on diversity, equity and inclusion. Participants will meet in Bologna, Italy from 16-20 October to discuss how different universities are working strategically on this topic and to share good practices.
