The Kircher Network Meeting of Senior International Officers took place the past 19th and 21st October at Universidad Loyola Andalucía, in Seville. The agenda of the meeting followed 4 main objectives:
Foster networking among the participants of the Kircher Network and with their colleagues from other Jesuit universities around the world (IAJU), and formally launch the Kircher Group of Peers of International Relation Officers.
Discuss current projects and identify possible new collaborative initiatives.
Explore Erasmus funding opportunities the network can access.
Promote the signing of Erasmus partnership agreements between institutions.
The meeting allowed us to meet in person for the first time and continue reflecting on European opportunities and concrete projects we can develop that are feasible and add value to the mission of our institutions. It gathered International Relations delegates from 12 member universities and institutions from the Kircher Network, as well as delegates from the European Leadership Programme (ELP) and the Jesuit European Social Center (JESC). The encounter opened with the interventions of Jaime Oraá SJ (President of Loyola’s Board of Trustees of the Universidad Loyola Andalucía Foundation); Enrique Sanz, SJ (President of Comillas Pontifical University); Gonzalo Villagrán, SJ (Dean of Theology at Universidad Loyola Andalucía); Susana Di Trolio (Executive Secretary of Kircher Network) and Francisco de Borja Martín (Director of International Relations at Universidad Loyola Andalucía). The Steering Committee will meet again this next 3rd of November, online, to concrete the next steps for the group.
