From June 17th to 21st, 2024, the University of Algarve (UAlg) hosted an Erasmus Staff Week for librarians under the motto “Think and Develop Our Libraries“.
This event was designed for information and documentation professionals from libraries, archives, and documentation centers.

It covered topics such as document processing, user service, training, repository management, open access, scientific dissemination, data management, cultural extension, editing, archiving, etc.
The event saw the participation of 16 professionals from the universities of Cadiz, Split, Malta, Gdansk, Ljubljana, Wroclaw, John Paul II Catheolic Lublin, Constantine the Philosopher, Valladolid, West Bohemia, and Pontifica de Salamanca.
