CALL FOR ACADEMIC STAFF
Join Our International Online Courses
Powiślańska Academy of Applied Sciences, together with its international partner universities, is looking for academic staff interested in contributing to two collaborative international courses:
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS INTERNATIONAL NURSING
About the initiative
The aim is to create fully online, semester-long international courses, jointly delivered by academics from universities across different countries.
Each participating lecturer will contribute a small part of the course, while students from all participating universities will have the opportunity to attend the entire course and benefit from the expertise and perspectives of an international group of academics.
What does participation involve?
Participating lecturers are invited to:
- deliver 2 × 45-minute live online sessions during the semester;
- select a topic within International Business or International Nursing related to their expertise;
- contribute to a course jointly taught by academics from different countries and institutions;
- Encourage students from their home university to participate in the complete international course.
The sessions will be scheduled throughout the semester, so lecturers will only be responsible for their own allocated teaching slot.
What do participating universities and students gain?
By contributing only 2 × 45 minutes of teaching, each participating institution can offer its students access to the complete international course, including sessions delivered by academics representing universities from different countries.
The courses are intended to provide students with international and comparative perspectives, exposure to different academic and professional approaches, and an opportunity to study alongside students from other countries.
We are working towards offering the courses with ECTS recognition and an English-language micro-credential confirming successful completion, subject to the relevant institutional arrangements.
Participation model
The initiative is based on mutual academic cooperation and exchange of teaching expertise. Therefore, no individual teaching remuneration is foreseen.
Instead, each participating university contributes a limited number of teaching hours and, in return, gains access to the complete course for its students.
Interested in joining?
We welcome academics specializing in areas related to:
International Business – including, but not limited to, international management, marketing, economics, finance, entrepreneurship, intercultural management, HR, sustainability, digital transformation, and international trade.
International Nursing – including, but not limited to, nursing practice, public health, healthcare systems, patient safety, health promotion, clinical practice, nursing education, digital health, intercultural care, and current challenges in healthcare.

Join us in creating an international classroom connecting academics and students across countries – without the need to travel.
