Since 1995, CEEPUS (Central European Exchange Programme for University Studies) has enabled students to travel on transnational exchange to partner universities in Central Europe within an academic network, or as a freemover.
Mobility within academic networks
Students, doctoral researchers and academic staff wishing to undertake mobility within an academic network should register with CEEPUS at ceepus.info. Once an account has been created, mobility applications can be submitted via the CEEPUS Mobility Desktop.
Application deadlines

Outgoing mobility is available only to EU citizens.
