The main idea of the week was the slogan "From tradition to innovation", which reflects the main trends in the development of education and science in the global context. The rich programme of events included presentations of international educational initiatives; artificial intelligence workshops at universities; discussions on the role of international projects in building educational cooperation; and an interactive session dedicated to Europe Day.
Participation in the International Week provided an opportunity to get acquainted with innovations in research and educational activities of higher education institutions around the world, and to make plans for further cooperation. The cultural programme offered by the organisers (a tour of the historical part of Cartagena with its cultural traditions; a boat trip along the coast of the military fortress) allowed the participants to continue communicating in an informal setting and establish interaction.
