OISC - online international student conference (Intercultural Training)

Are you looking for an opportunity to apply your academic knowledge in an international setting and at the same time develop essential skills for your future career?

At the Online International Student Conference (OISC), you will work together with students from more than 10 universities across 5 countries (Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, Ukraine, and Germany). In small international groups, you will:

  • research and discuss global challenges from multiple perspectives

  • reflect on your own learning process and share your academic insights

Your participation will culminate in two key outcomes:

  1. An academic presentation: presenting your team’s findings on the second conference day.
  2. A reflective report: analyzing your personal learning process, including teamwork, intercultural communication, and academic skills.
