Charles University is a modern European university with a global reach. International cooperation is among our key priorities – we connect students, academic staff, and research teams across continents and actively contribute to shaping the European and global higher education landscape.


The International Relations Office supports student and staff mobility and develops international partnerships. Opportunities to study abroad are presented in the Study Abroad section, while information on staff mobility is available on the Charles University intranet. We also financially support internationalisation through the Mobility Fund and POINT.



Within the Erasmus+ programme, Charles University has more than 800 partners and arranges approximately 4,000 student mobilities each year. In addition, we maintain over 200 bilateral agreements with countries on all continents. An overview of active exchanges is available for view on our interactive map, while a complete list can be found on the Charles University intranet.

These partnerships represent the highest level of inter-university cooperation and include joint research projects, study programmes, and exchanges of students and academic staff.
