CEEPUS – Central European Exchange Program for University Studies
Education and training in tertiary education in Central and Eastern Europe
The program was launched in March 1995. The program aims to establish and promote the mobility of students and teachers between participating countries and to leverage partnership links to create joint study programs. The emphasis is on joint doctoral programs and promoting cooperation within the framework of the EUSDR (European Union Strategy for the Danube Region).
Higher education institutions from the following countries participate in the CEEPUS program: Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Montenegro, Croatia, Kosovo, Hungary, North Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Serbia.
CEEPUS operates through networks that facilitate international mobility for students and teachers and fosters collaborative international projects. This exchange promotes the transfer of knowledge and best practices, enhances intercultural competencies, and supports the creation of joint professional and scientific articles. Additionally, it enables the publication of collaborative works at both national and international levels, and it supports the organization of summer and winter schools.
There is one network established at UL FGG – PLANNED – Spatial PLANNing EDucation Network, whose main coordinator is UL FGG. The primary activity of the network is the implementation of joint initiatives, including summer schools and study workshops.
Network number:
SI-2022-01-2526
Network name:
PLANNED – Spatial PLANNing EDucation Network
Coordinator at UL FGG:
Tch. Asst. Jana Breznik
Basic conditions:
Students, teaching staff and other employees of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodesy can participate in the CEEPUS program. Mobility can be carried out either as:
- Network mobility – mobility within the PLANNED network;
- Freemover mobility – mobility outside the networks in which the faculty is involved.
Mobilities within the PLANNED network have priority in the approval of scholarships. The following types of mobility are available within the CEEPUS program:
- Students: 3-10 months → intended for carrying out regular study activities;
- Short term students: less than 3 months → intended for students to prepare their final theses or research;
- Teacher: intended for teaching staff;
- Short Term University Staff: 2-5 working days → intended for other employees at the university.
In addition, two other types of mobility are available for the implementation of specific activities (summer school, study workshops):
- Short Term Excursions: 2-5 working days → intended for students for special activities (e.g. summer school);
- Short Term Intensive Courses: minimum 6 days → intended for students for special activities (e.g. summer school, workshop).
