The programme, co-created with TUL Language Centre and the ESN-EYE Łódź Association, offered a wide range of activities. Participants could attend information sessions for students, the Mobility Leaders Gala, the Erasmus Fair, as well as integration events such as the International Breakfast and Erasmus Café. A Coffee Truck was also present on campus – a mobile information point where participants could obtain detailed information and talk to people with experience in international mobility. Once again, Mobility Week demonstrated that the internationalisation of Lodz University of Technology is not only about numbers, but above all about people, experiences, and building a global academic community.

Mobility in numbers – growing institutional potential
The data presented during the Gala confirm the dynamic development of internationalisation at TUL. Long-term mobilities have been growing year by year at a rate of several percent, while short-term mobilities are developing even faster – with a projected increase of up to 65–70%. The number of student applications has also significantly increased.
The most popular destinations for long-term mobility remain France, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Italy. In the case of short-term mobility, trips within the ECIU consortium are particularly popular, especially to Italy. Destinations outside Europe, such as Japan and Taiwan, are also being chosen more frequently.
At the same time, staff activity is increasing – over the past three years, the number of applications for teaching and training mobility has risen by approximately 70%.
International TUL community
Mobility is a two-way process – in the current academic year, the number of international students at TUL has increased by around 8%. The university hosts students from 26 countries, including France, Spain, Kazakhstan, Portugal, Turkey, and Italy, as well as from more distant regions of the world, highlighting the global character of the academic community.
Mobility Week 2025/2026 confirmed that Lodz University of Technology is consistently strengthening its position as a globally open university, actively building international partnerships and supporting the development of global competences within its community.
