We are delighted to invite you to the PERSONAL LEADERSHIP TO CHANGE THE WORLD International Staff Week on Personal Leadership in Higher Education, taking place from September 28 to October 2, 2026, in Biograd na Moru, Croatia.

This inspiring international event will bring together higher education professionals, both academic and administrative, to explore and exchange personal leadership practices in academic institutions. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in interactive workshops, case study presentations, thematic sessions, and cultural activities, all focused on how personal leadership can be integrated into higher education, with topics including:

• self-awareness and personal leadership development
