Međunarodna sedmica stručnog usavršavanja osoblja (poznata kao Staff Week) predstavlja petodnevni događaj koji organizira visokoškolska ustanova, najčešće putem svoje Službe za međunarodnu saradnju ili Ureda za međunarodne odnose. Program obuhvata seminare, radionice, prezentacije te aktivno učešće domaćih stručnjaka i međunarodnih partnera.

International Staff Training Week (commonly referred to as Staff Week) is a five-day event organised by a higher education institution — typically through its International Relations or International Cooperation Office — featuring seminars, workshops, presentations, and active participation of both domestic experts and international partners.

Pored stručnih sesija posvećenih procesima internacionalizacije univerziteta, program uključuje društvene i kulturne aktivnosti, kao i priliku za upoznavanje lokalne gastronomije, tradicije i kulture. Ovaj događaj pruža platformu za povezivanje partnerskih institucija, nastavnog i administrativnog osoblja, studenata te službenika za međunarodnu saradnju, podstičući saradnju, razmjenu iskustava i razvoj novih ideja.

In addition to professional sessions focused on university internationalisation processes, the programme includes social and cultural activities, as well as opportunities to experience local cuisine and traditions. The event provides a platform for connecting partners, faculty members, students, and international relations officers, fostering collaboration and the exchange of ideas.

Služba za međunarodnu saradnju Univerziteta u Sarajevu pokrenula je ovu inicijativu 2017. godine kao pilot-aktivnost u okviru Erasmus+ projekta izgradnje kapaciteta Strengthening Internationalisation in Bosnia and Herzegovina Higher Education (STINT). Cilj je bio okupiti osoblje koje radi na realizaciji dolaznih i odlaznih mobilnosti te međunarodnih projekata, kako bi se kroz otvorenu razmjenu iskustava razgovaralo o dobrim praksama, izazovima i mogućim rješenjima.

The International Relations Office of the University of Sarajevo launched this initiative in 2017 as a pilot activity within the Erasmus+ Capacity Building project Strengthening Internationalisation in Bosnia and Herzegovina Higher Education (STINT). The aim was to bring together staff engaged in implementing incoming and outgoing mobility and international projects, encouraging open discussion on good practices, challenges, and potential solutions.

Danas Služba za međunarodnu saradnju Univerziteta u Sarajevu organizira dvije Međunarodne sedmice stručnog usavršavanja osoblja godišnje, u pravilu u proljetnom i jesenjem terminu, čime nastavlja jačati ulogu Univerziteta u Sarajevu kao jednog od vodećih regionalnih centara za međunarodnu saradnju i akademsku razmjenu.

Today, the International Relations Office of the University of Sarajevo organises two International Staff Training Weeks annually, typically held in spring and autumn, continuing to strengthen UNSA’s role as a key regional hub for international cooperation and academic exchange.
