A staff mobility week is like an Erasmus but for university staff, and only one week. This is an UE program and every European university can apply for this program. When I knew that I apply for this program and lucky me I was chosen and between 12 and 16 of May I went to Bergen to participate in the Staff Mobility Week (SMW-14).  The organizer of this week was University of Bergen (UiB).

This year at the UPC BarcelonaTech’s Mobile World Congress stand, inLab FIB will be introducing the latest applications developed over the last year: sportALERT and uTalk.
