Kire Stavrov from Ss. Cyril und Methodius University in Skopje (NMK), Faculty of Architecture:

“During my research fellowship at the Danube University Krems (host university)in Austria, I had an opportunity to collaborate in direct mentorship by Christian Hanus, scientific director of the research laboratory for sustainable cultural heritage. His mentorship assisted me in reaching a significant milestone in the preparation of the doctoral thesis- which was a core activity during my fellowship. My participation in this program is relevant for expanding the research collaboration between the home and the host university.”

CEEPUS VetNEST Summer School “Exotic and Wild Animal Medicine”

Experiencing a CEEPUS Mobility in Croatia: Summer School of Exotic and Wild Animal Medicine at the Veterinary Faculty in Zagreb The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Zagreb hosted an international summer school dedicated to exotic and wild animals. The school was organized in July 2025 and students from Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, and North Macedonia participated.

In this hands-on-oriented course, participants gained theoretical and practical knowledge about handling, manipulation, clinical procedures, and treatment of exotic and wild birds, reptiles, and small mammals. The programme was carefully structured so that the scholarship holders could participate in expert lectures and practice in the veterinary hospital.

Students were able to actively participate in all procedures that were first explained during the theoretical part of the programme: This combination of theory and practice helps to consolidate our knowledge in a meaningful and lasting way. Personally, I had the opportunity to perform an ultrasound examination, which was a valuable and memorable experience for me. It is not often that students are given such a chance so early in a program, and I truly appreciate this hands-on approach, Weronika K. from Poland points out.

Apart from the practice, expert lectures led by specialists in the fields of zoo, exotic, and wildlife medicine garnered a lot of interest and many positive experiences from students and teachers.

What our scholars have to say

Georgi Mladenov

Working on his master thesis in Sorpon (HU)

“My CEEPUS exchange exceeded my expectations. I managed to progress a lot with my thesis and to acquire new skills in the field of mathematics. I made great contacts both with lectures and students. I hope to welcome my colleagues from the University of Sopron in Ruse (BG) next semester.”

Dr. Gabriella Vöő

Exchange teacher in Olomouc

There was a large student turnout, the students were interested and they participated in the discussions. I had conversations with colleagues about academic and administrative matters and we also discussed possibilities for joint research projects in the future.

Professor and network coordinator, Maribor

It is important to point out that the activities that have taken place in the framework of student mobility, especially of PhD students, do not end with the end of the mobility, but remain as an important link, in the framework of joint scientific articles and publications in co-authorship.
