Each year, the University of Caen Normandie dedicates a whole week to its global partners, giving the opportunity to discover our institution and the unique historical heritage of the Normandy region.
Through workshops, faculty meetings and presentations, we will share best practices and exchange on common issues and objectives related to international education.
