Together with 2 partner University colleges, an international carousel will be set up whereby students from the three institutions can change institutions for one week so that an international class room is formed at 3 locations. In terms of content, the three locations will work around a new trend within the professional field in the country concerned. The content can be applied via various teaching methods (lectures, workshops, company visits, short-term research, ...).
