As part of its strategy to strengthen its international presence and develop its academic relations, Al-Quds Open University participated in the "Staff Week" activities organized by Anadolu University, Eskisehir Technical University, and Eskisehir Osmangazi University in the city of Eskisehir, Turkey, within the framework of the international academic exchange program Erasmus+.

QOU was represented by Dr. Jihad Hammad and Professor Mohammad Qayawi, both faculty members from the Bethlehem branch. The program included a number of academic activities, among them a series of visits to the host universities encompassing orientation tours of their academic and research facilities, as well as formal meetings with the presidents of the three universities, their vice presidents for academic affairs, and the heads of international relations offices.

The meetings focused on exploring avenues for joint cooperation, including the development of academic exchange programs for students and faculty members, strengthening opportunities for joint scientific research, and organizing specialized academic and training initiatives that support innovation and elevate the quality of the educational process.

This participation aimed to strengthen the university's international academic partnerships, exchange expertise in the higher education sector, and build sustainable strategic relationships that contribute to realizing the university's vision of academic excellence and global openness.
