Thank you for your interest in becoming a guest lecturer during the U!REKA Week 2025 at Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences!
For one week, we aim to provide our students with expert talks from all U!REKA partner institutions, showcasing the added value that the U!REKA European University brings to their studies. As a guest lecturer, you will help to broaden the students’ horizons.
The U!REKA Week guest lecture program allows lecturers to connect with colleagues from the other U!REKA institutions and build strong academic networks. Your session will form part of the regular classes in our study programs. Colleagues from all faculties are looking forward to welcoming U!REKA guest lecturers into their modules. In addition, you can further develop your didactic and linguistic skills for future presentations with our English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) workshop.
