The vice-dean of the Faculty of Finance and Banking of WSB University in Poznan (Poland), Dr. Edyta Wojtyla, visited the Universidad de La Frontera (UFRO) in Chile in order to get to know the university and to establish valuable links of cooperation. Therefore, she carried out a series of activities, focusing on two areas: research and academic work.

During her visit, the representative of the Polish university met with Dr. Eduardo Hebel, the rector of UFRO, Dr. Lorena Vieli, the director of the International Affairs Office, and César Miranda, who is in charge of the Erasmus+ Programs. In addition, she carried out different activities for UFRO academics and researchers, presenting her university and the opportunities it offers as a partner university for Erasmus+ projects.
“This is the first time I visit UFRO and it feels like a very active and open-minded university. I already had the opportunity to get to know the campus and today, I also met with the rector and got to know the areas of internationalization and international programs of UFRO,” Dr. Wojtyla commented.

In this regard, Dr. Lorena Vieli, the director of the International Affairs Office, explained: “The Universidad de La Frontera got invited to this Erasmus+ project and Dr. Edyta Wojtyla is our first visitor out of several ones. Originally, we planned these activities for 2020, but they could not take place because of the pandemic. But now we are resuming our activities and we invite our academics to visit WSB University in Poznan and to get to know our common fields and interests”.

During her visit, Dr. Edyta Wojtyla gave a presentation about her university for the academics and researchers of UFRO, highlighting important areas of development. The history of WSB University in Poznan began in 1994 and this year, it celebrates its 28th anniversary.

Today, it is known as one of the leading private universities in Poland, with distinctions, accreditations and national and international certificates that reinforce its prestige.
In terms of the development of Erasmus+ projects, WSB University in Poznan actively participates in the program since 1999 and gives students and teachers the opportunity to improve their knowledge and to acquire new experiences through international mobility each year.

“It is worth mentioning that Erasmus+ projects do not only concentrate on the visits, but also help you to strengthen your academic skills, your personal development and to work on your intercultural competencies. They help you to acquire the skills you need to be successful in the current context of globalization,” explains César Miranda, inviting the UFRO community to participate in these opportunities of internationalization.
