During the cultural stands, it was possible to meet lecturers and staff from international cooperation offices from Albania, Algeria, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, China, Ecuador, Estonia, Guatemala, Spain, Kyrgyzstan, Kosovo, Costa Rica, Lithuania, Latvia, Malaysia, Mauritius, Moldova, Nepal, Germany, Portugal, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Vietnam and Italy.
– We are very proud that, despite the unfavourable weather and difficulties in getting here, so many people decided to be with us during the International Training Week at Bialystok University of Technology, – said Assoc. Prof. Dorota Anna Krawczyk, DSc, PhD, Eng, Vice-Rector for International Cooperation of Bialystok University of Technology.
– We are discussing here various possibilities of cooperation, both didactic and scientific projects, which we can develop for the benefit of our employees, students and the whole socio-economic environment of Bialystok University of Technology. That is why the event is of great importance to all of us and is part of the internationalisation strategy of our university. I am convinced that during the discussions, both formal and informal, many new ideas will be born, which we will be able to implement as part of the Erasmus programme – adds Assoc. Prof. Dorota Anna Krawczyk, DSc, PhD, Eng.

– The Christmas Meeting with President is a cyclical event. It serves the purpose of integration, getting to know cultures and approaches to tradition. Foreign students are eager to show how Christmas is celebrated in their home countries. And the differences are great. Such meetings allow us to understand the customs of different cultures, – said the President.
President Tadeusz Truskolaski is pleased that so many foreigners are studying in Białystok.
– For many years, Białystok universities have taken part in the Erasmus programme. Our students go to partner universities and foreigners come to us. Our universities are able to offer attractive education to students from abroad, and during their stay in Białystok they get to know the culture of Poland and the Podlasie region, – mówił prezydent.
Tadeusz Truskolaski wished the participants of the meeting ‘Merry Christmas’, happiness and peace in the New Year.
Nearly 350 foreigners are currently studying at Bialystok University of Technology. Some of them are pursuing their studies under Erasmus, others take a full course of study. They come from all continents, except Australia.
– Studying in Białystok and at Bialystok University of Technology is a great experience, we have a lot of classes and activities, we learn new things and the people at the university are very helpful. Białystok itself is a nice city, we love it, – said the participants of the Christmas meeting.
