CEEPUS

Central European Exchange Programme for University Studies

CEEPUS is an exchange programme for students and teaching staff between signatory countries.  By signing the agreement the governments undertake to cover the costs of the exchanges.  The beneficiaries of this funding are institutions of higher education in the signatory countries, connected in a network.  The faculties are approved a certain number of scholarships within the CEEPUS quota each year.

The aim of the programme is to improve links between students and academic staff in the signatory countries.  The programme came into force on 1st December 1994.  The countries that signed the agreement from the foundation of CEEPUS were Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia, and then Croatia from 1995, the Czech Republic from 1996 and Romania from 1998.  Today CEEPUS has 14 members (in addition to the countries mentioned above Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia and Serbia have since joined).

Our Faculty joined the programme thanks to the network of veterinary universities and colleges, VetNEST, which also includes faculties from Austria (Vienna), Czech Republic (Brno), Hungary (Budapest), Poland (Wroclaw), Slovakia (Košice) and Slovenia (Ljubljana).
