Since 2016, the University Library has participated in Freie Universität Berlin’s International Staff Training Week with its own program. The event promotes international exchange among staff working in research-related fields and is organized in collaboration with the International Office and with support from Erasmus+.

During the three-day Library Track, international participants and experts discuss current topics in academic librarianship. In recent years, the focus has included organizational development, user-centered approaches, sustainability, as well as digital transformation and artificial intelligence.

The University Library is responsible for planning and implementing the program. The focus is on professional exchange, international networking, and joint discussion of current challenges and developments in the library sector.

The program is published each December. Applications for participation are generally accepted through February.
