Overview
CEEPUS is the short form for Central European Exchange Program for University Studies and is a multilateral University exchange program in the extended Danube region based on an international Agreement. It went into force in 1995 with back then six signing states. Today after over 25 years of successful cooperation there are 15+ members states who joint the current CEEPUS III agreement. The main activity of CEEPUS is the support of knowledge transfer, knowledge exchange and experience. CEEPUS mainly funds cooperation networks between universities in the member states through mobility grants for students and teachers. Since 1995 approximate 75.000 mobility applications have been awarded in the framework of our program.
Details
Each country has a National CEEPUS Office (NCO) in charge of the national implementation of the Program. The Central CEEPUS Office in Vienna is responsible for the overall coordination of the program. If you are interested in establishing a new university network, your National CEEPUS Office is the first contact point for information regarding the program. Please click on the flag of your home country above, to get the contact information of the National Office. The NCO is also your first contact point if you want to apply for a freemover grant.
If you want to apply for a scholarship within a current funded network, please get in contact with the network coordinator or the network contact person at your university. You will find all information on the current participation of your university within CEEPUS by accessing our list of networks.
CEEPUS is based on innovative concepts, lean management, user friendliness and above all on the ability to sustain enthusiasm in our joint venture on all levels. We also like to take on new challenges and thus CEEPUS is looking forward to cooperation options in the framework of the EU Strategy for the Danube Region.
So, if you are hedging a vision of regional cooperation or regional exchange: turn to CEEPUS as partner to make it come to life. You are most welcome!
Which universities are eligible for CEEPUS?
Each academic year each CEEPUS country is nominating their list of eligible universities. Only students and teachers of eligible universities can receive CEEPUS grants.
Note that we only list eligible universities as such and not all their faculties and departments. The CEEPUS software adds only the “participating units” – units that have been involved in a CEEPUS network.
What is the difference between Network Mobility and Freemover Mobility?
Network mobility are students and teachers exchanged among the partner institutions of a network.
Freemovers are students and teachers that want to be exchanged outside a network. PLEASE NOTE that with CEEPUS you have much better chances to receive a grant as network mobility. Free
