EURECA-PRO

The Human Factor Behind the Staff Week in Leoben

Host: Universidad de León (ULE)
12 Dec, 2025

In this new episode of Committed to Planet A, we take you to the heart of the International Week held at Montanuniversität Leoben last October. Beyond the agendas and strategic meetings, we explore the “human factor” that drives our European alliance.

This program marks a technical milestone for EURECA-PRO: it is our first-ever remote recording connecting 5 countries simultaneously (Belgium, Germany, Austria, France, and Spain), proving that collaboration truly knows no borders.

Hosted by Maria Speck (Hochschule Mittweida | University of Applied Sciences) and Andrés Sánchez (University of León), we are joined by three guests who are key members of the Working Groups meeting in Austria: 

  • Anna Rath (Montanuniversität Leoben) – International Relations Office (IRO)
  • Capucine François (Université de Lorraine) – Communication & Dissemination (CODI)
  • Steven Palmaers (Hasselt University) – Innovation & Entrepreneurship (I&E) 

Together, we discuss the latest developments in mobility, our joint communication strategy, and the fostering of entrepreneurship. We also share candid insights into the personal experience of organizing and living through these massive international events.

Tune in to hear how we are building Europe—from Leoben to the world.
