Rethinking short-term programmes: innovation, impact and sustainability

Join trainers Margherita Pasquini and Gyöngyi Pozsgai on 20 and 21 April to reimagine short‑term programmes with strategies that boost their quality, relevance and long‑term impact.

Why join this course

Short-term academic programmes are central to internationalisation, but making them impactful requires fresh thinking. This two-day, in person EAIE Academy Classroom course gives you the tools to redesign your institution’s offerings with academic value, financial sustainability, and environmental responsibility in mind. Held at The Social Hub Amsterdam City, the training blends interactive group work, case studies and peer exchange so you leave with practical strategies and the confidence to implement change. 

Registration for this course will open in late January, mark your calendar!

What you will learn

Through case studies, peer learning and solution-focused discussions, you will be invited to critically rethink how short-term programmes are designed, developed, promoted, and managed. You’ll learn how to align them with institutional goals, embed authentic cultural and experiential learning and draw on global trends. At the same time, you’ll build professional connections that support collaboration, partnerships and shared innovation in short-term education.

This course will help you: 

  • Design programmes that integrate academic credit and micro-credentials
  • Explore diverse funding models and partnership strategies
  • Enhance the visibility and competitiveness of your institution’s offerings
  • Develop an actionable plan to deliver impactful, future-ready short-term programmes
