„VetNEST Extended“: Winner of the CEEPUS Ministers´ Prize 2022! 12 Veterinary schools in 12 different CEEPUS countries offering highest standards in education with a wide range of topics.

This regional network, founded already in 1993, offers lectures for graduates as well as for undergraduates and opportunities like 8 different summer schools. Their experts are teaching in topics like Biosafety, Zoonose, Aquaculture, Exotic Medicine and Surgery etc.
Certain conditions of the membership were agreed upon to keep high standards, so the main prerequisite for the full membership is the accreditation by the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE). Therefore, all partner universities are active members of the EAEVE and this common standard helps the full academic recognition of the studies made in one of the partner institutions.
VetNEST is also involved in several additional activities within the “Lifelong Learning Program” framework and participates in many international projects with different fundings. So, VetNEST is regarded in several aspects as a “reference workshop” of the EAEVE as well as for CEEPUS. The network won the CEEPUS Ministers' Prize of Excellence in 2022!

Social work and social policy education has always provided important contribution to tsocieties. By producing professionals that are equipped for interventions that affect social welfare, social justice and social rights, we help to empower citizens to overcome social risks and social problems.

Given the large amount of pressing social needs and the limited amount of resources, there are benefits from uniting forces across neighboring countries and creating regional capacities for training and research in social work and social policy. Therefore, our main idea and goal is and was to build up on previously existing cooperation practices in the region (i.e. among ex-Yugoslav countries) and extend this links with new partners in Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary. We established academic alliances among universities several years ago that can nurture, promote and advance the regional social work, social policy research and teaching methods.

What our scholars have to say

Iva Vujovic

Exchange student in Vienna

I learned a lot from some professors about topics that aren't really talked about much in my home University. And even when we do mention them, it's more theoretical and harder to understand than it is through practical learning, which we did in Vienna.

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.

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.”
