International Alumni Webinars (Action code: W)

This action in the HHF project consists in organizing seminars and lectures delivered by MUG’s International Alumni in a remote manner over the internet.

Among the Graduates of the Medical University of Gdańsk there are various specialists with substantial or even remarkable expertise in their fields. Therefore, we have organized and will continue to organize extracurricular seminars with a view to:

• reinforce our International Alumni’s connections with the University and current students
• create a new opportunity for our current students (both international and native Polish) to:
  • benefit from our Alumni’s knowledge and professional experience
  • boost their motivation for learning, research and practical training
  • reinforce their perception of our university as an effective incubator of successful medical careers.

During the project we organized 8 webinars delivered by our International Alumni:

• Dates – between Feb. 26th. 2020 and March 31, 2021:
