From March 23 to 27, 2026, the Faculty of Commerce organized another successful year of the International Carousel Week event as part of the Erasmus+ BIP program. This year, students from several countries met at the faculty to collaborate during an intensive week, create new ideas, and at the same time get to know Bratislava and the Slovak environment.
This year's event was marked by two records. At the Faculty of Business, we welcomed up to 59 foreign students from 7 partner universities from 5 countries - from France, the Netherlands, Germany, Finland, and Austria - involved in the PEPA network. Throughout the week, they worked in international teams on projects focused on creating a complex digital product that reflected current environmental challenges in various sectors.
The students thus had a unique opportunity to develop their professional knowledge not only in the fields of innovation, digitalization, and sustainability, but also in teamwork in an international environment. Working together on projects allowed them to connect different perspectives, experiences and approaches, which is extremely valuable in the current global environment.
We are very pleased that International Carousel Week has an increasingly strong international impact on our students. The second record of this year is the fact that as many as 89 students of the Faculty of Commerce traveled to gain valuable international experience at partner universities in Finland, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Lithuania and Austria. This is also proof that internationalization and linking studies with international experience have a strong place at our faculty.
International Carousel Week 2026 once again confirmed that international cooperation, joint project work and openness to new ideas bring students not only professional but also personal development. We thank all participants for their great energy, creativity, innovative ideas and excellent atmosphere throughout the week. We are already looking forward to the next year of ICW 2027.
