CEEPUS (2021.30.2)

We promote cooperation in the field of higher education in Central Europe.

What our scholars have to say

Nicholas Chang

Exchange student in Szeged

The very warm welcome that I was received by at the faculty, as well as by the National CEEPUS Office, made me feel like an important guest and not just a number.

Vedrana Petric

Exchange Student in Warsaw

The fact that I can say that now I have friends, real deep friendships, throughout Europe. Also, that I managed to finish all the courses in a completely different, but very interesting field of studies- environmental engineering. Thank you CEEPUS for giving me the opportunity to achieve this!

Prof Dr. József Gál

Vice-Dean of University of Szeged

CEEPUS scholarships open the horizons for our students and faculty staff to countries we do not necessarily know enough about. In addition to the classical semester mobilities, they also provide an excellent opportunity to gain short-term professional experience. Incoming teachers and students add colour to our academic year and provide useful information about their country, that can be of great value to future engineers.

Featured Networks

Image Processing, Information Engineering & Interdisciplinary Knowledge Exchange

Dr. Sorantin, Network Coordinator and his colleague Dr. Lacekova

This interdisciplinary network is specialized on cooperation between medical and engineering departments. Especially in terms of Pediatric Imaging, one of the main focusses of the network, procedures and interpretation are even more challenging, because children are not simply “small adults”.

They differ, both in body proportion and composition, and their bones are still growing and thus show epiphyses, which should not be misinterpreted as fractures. Radiation protection is key as children are still growing and thus more of their cells are in the sensitive division phase. Children younger than 10 years of age carry a 3 - 4 times higher risk of incurring DNA damage and developing leukemia or solid tumors than adults at the age of 30 - 40. Also psychological aspects need to be considered. Infants and young children react instinctively to unknown and scary situations, their patience is limited. It is therefore essential to work swiftly and smoothly as not to overtax the patients´ endurance.

54 institutes are working together and due to the complexity of the subjects dealt with, the special experience of each partner is a valuable input for the whole network. The network won the CEEPUS Ministers' Prize of Excellence in 2020 !
They offer various exchange activities, research topics, common publications and a lot of enthusiasm due to their long term cooperation!

Landscape management - Sustainable land use perspectives in the Central European Region

Landscape management - Sustainable land use perspectives in the Central European Region

If you are interested in topics like spatial planning, forestry, agronomy, horticulture and environmental sciences regarding water, air, and soil, you can improve your knowledge with an interdisciplinary scientific team in 11 different CEEPUS-Countries

All partners work towards sustainability of European landscapes’ management. This approach finds place in agreement both with EU Strategy for the Danube Region, “Protecting the Environment”, and with European Landscape Convention, searching for “Landscape quality objectives”. They educate young people from all 11 participating CEEPUS countries in seeing the differences between countries, and finding a proper strategy for development of particular places, protecting their values and supporting their uniqueness. This is done the best with long established summer schools, intensive courses where students work in international groups on projects and learn both about the particular place and different approaches. Besides, this network is also part of further European Networks and offers Joint MA degrees.
