Catholic University Welcomed a Delegation from Katholische Hochschule Nordrhein Westfalen

    22. april 2026
    The Catholic University in Ružomberok (KU) welcomed a delegation from its partner institution, Katholische Hochschule Nordrhein Westfalen (Katho), from 24 to 27 March 2026. The delegation was represented by University Chancellor Bernward Robrecht and Head of the International Relations Office Lisa Jungkamp.

    The visit programme included working meetings with the Rector and Vice‑Rectors, members of the Internationalisation Council, as well as discussions with representatives of individual faculties and members of the management of the Faculty of Health Care. A parallel working meeting of the international relations staff of both institutions also took place, focusing on the practical aspects of cooperation, the implementation of mobility programmes, and the preparation of purposefully designed staff training activities.

    All meetings were held in a professional and open atmosphere and were aimed at strengthening strategic cooperation, developing shared areas of academic interest, and supporting individual mobility opportunities. The Katho delegation also actively participated in a professional conference programme, which provided space for the exchange of experience and the deepening of academic dialogue. In this context, the partnership cooperation on the preparation of the IFCU conference, to be hosted by Katho in autumn 2026, was also confirmed.

    The visit reaffirmed the shared commitment of both universities to systematic and long‑term cooperation in the fields of internationalisation, education, and professional development of staff and students.
