Students from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automation, and Computer Science at Kielce University of Technology participated in the Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) titled Smart Home Energy Control System Using the JUNG Home Platform, held from May 12 to 16, 2025. The event was organized by Klaipėda State University of Applied Sciences. BIP programmes are aimed at first- and second-cycle students, as well as participants of doctoral schools. Each participant of a BIP course receives a minimum of 3 ECTS credits.

From May 12 to 16, 2025, the Kielce University of Technology hosted a new format of the Erasmus+ program for the first time — the Blended Intensive Program. This initiative consists of both on-site and virtual components, giving participating students the opportunity to earn additional ECTS credits in subjects related to their field of study. The event was held under the theme “Green Mobility and Emerging Trends in Transport and Logistics.” The program was initiated by lecturers from the Faculty of Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering and co-organized by the Department of Staff Development and International Cooperation. The week-long event brought together lecturers and 30 students from Croatia, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.

The program included university presentations, lectures on challenges related to sustainable transport, and visits to laboratories, including CENWIS and the Kielce University of Technology’s laboratories in Dąbrowa. Participants also visited the Archaeological Museum in Krzemionki Opatowskie, where they learned about the cultural heritage of the Świętokrzyskie region.

This form of mobility can be particularly appealing to students who would like to gain experience at a university in another country but do not yet feel ready for a full semester abroad. It is a great opportunity to experience a different culture, broaden academic knowledge, develop skills relevant to their field of study, and, of course, meet students from other countries.

Traditionally, the beginning of March at Kielce University of Technology is a time for information sessions on international student exchange programs. From March 4 to 6, 2025, the Department of International Cooperation organized a series of events under the title “Erasmus+ Days.”
The event kicked off with a welcome meeting for Erasmus+ students from Turkey, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Jordan. Vice-Rector for Student Affairs and Education, Prof. Artur Maciąg, warmly greeted the newcomers, wishing them an enriching and inspiring experience at our university. The students were given a presentation outlining key rules and practical advice on studying and living in Kielce. They also had the opportunity to discuss their study plans in detail with Erasmus+ faculty coordinators. Additionally, they met representatives from the University Student Government Council, who play an active role in helping international students integrate into the university community.
As in previous years, for the next two days, students could enjoy free coffee at a booth set up in front of Hall 117B while chatting with staff from the Department of International Cooperation and students who had already participated in the program. It was a great opportunity to learn about the benefits of Erasmus+, get first-hand insights, and address any concerns about studying abroad.
The final day brought a lively atmosphere to Hall 117B, filled with the aroma of pizza and buzzing conversations. During the information session, the fundamentals of the Erasmus+ program were presented, and students had the chance to ask questions—all while enjoying free pizza.
A big thank you to all students for their enthusiastic participation in Erasmus+ Days 2025! We are delighted with the great interest in the event and hope it has inspired many of you to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ program
