During this week SBA hosted the second edition of the International Week event aimed to gather the teachers and staff from partner universities all around the world involved in any aspects of international relations and exchange programs.

A total of 45 international participants from 11 different countries (Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Germany, Belgium, France, Finland, China, the UK and the Netherlands) took part in this event together with 25 participants from Czechia. International teachers delivered 8 intensive 2-day lectures taught in English on different business related topics.

A vital part of the event was the cultural program which included trips to Marlenka factory in Frýdek-Místek, Polish Cieszyn, Chateau Fryštát with the nearby church, the leaning Church of St Peter of Alcantara, planetarium in Ostrava and the Business Gate.
