The partner universities of the European University for Well-Being (EUniWell) are organizing live and online programs to celebrate their first year of working and studying together. “Well-Being Day” is part of the #FestiWell events and will be hosted by Semmelweis University in the Basic Medical Science Center. All Semmelweis University students and colleagues are invited and welcome.
The #FestiWell event from 19 to 20 October is going to highlight research and education, values and actions to create, advance and foster well-being. In just two days participants can get to know EUniWell better, become part of its diverse and international community, participate in valuable conversations and gain insights into existing and future collaborations, such as the next EUniWell Seed Funding Program. This an excellent opportunity for international experts to share their thoughts and knowledge with the citizens of partner universities.
