How do other art academies work, and how can we learn from one another? These were the questions explored by staff from our academy during two job-shadowing days at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design (AFAD) in Bratislava at the end of September 2026. The participants included colleagues from Building Services, the Student Welcome Center and the International Office. In selecting participants, priority was given to colleagues who had not yet taken part in an Erasmus mobility. This was intended to give staff members who had not previously participated in Erasmus the opportunity to gain international experience. The aim of the visit was to gain insights into the working practices and structures of our partner academy, exchange experiences, and discuss shared topics and challenges.

In order to raise awareness in collaboration with all universities and as many people as possible, a demonstration of all universities against the budget cuts will take place on Thursday, October 22.
