CEEPUS - Central European Exchange Programme for University Studies

The CEEPUS programme supports multilateral regional cooperation through university networks. The goal of the programme is to create a Central European university network consisting of various sub-networks. Partner universities collaborate on various research tasks within the network.

CEEPUS II agreements have been signed by the following countries (listed in alphabetical order, not chronologically): Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia/FYROM, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia; Kosovo is a cooperating partner.

The CEEPUS programme is targeted at undergraduate students who have completed at least two semesters, postgraduate students and academic staff. The programme is based on the principle of reciprocity in exchanges.

It is also possible to become part of the network as a ‘free mover’ if your home university is not a member of a suitable network.


For more information on the programme see the CEEPUS website.

Euraxess - Researchers in Motion

The EURAXESS network offers researchers support and advice related to their stay in their host country (especially with regard to long-term stays).
