Fourteen professionals from higher education institutions from nine countries were in Lisbon, at Iscte, between the 6th and 10th of July, to discuss well-being, sustainability and urban challenges. International Staff Week 2026, under the theme "Designing the Future of Urban Living", brought together representatives from partner universities from France, Italy, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Turkey.
Well-being and sustainability in focus
For five days, participants engaged in panels, workshops and practical activities, sharing good practices and experiences between institutions. The program included the presentation of the BeWell-Iscte project, focusing on the well-being of academic and urban communities, a day dedicated to inclusion and psychological health, and another focused on environmental sustainability and sustainable transition.
Dialogue with the city through the PIONEER Festival
The week also crossed with the PIONEER Festival, which brought together four thematic panels and a live podcast on urban challenges, bringing together experts from Iscte and external stakeholders around solutions for contemporary cities.
A contribution to Sustainable Development Goal 11
The initiative is part of Sustainable Development Goal 11, focused on sustainable cities and communities, and reinforces cooperation networks Erasmus+ between the institutions involved. More than a week of sessions, the exchange of experiences between participants contributes to consolidating a culture of well-being and sustainability that we intend to take back to the respective institutions.
