CEEPUS

The charme of Central Europe
CEEPUS is an acronym for Central European Exchange Program for University Studies. The legal basis for CEEPUS is an international Agreement signed by the member states and open for accession.

Current member countries: Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia. Prishtina/Kosovo is also participating;

With CEEPUS, there is no transfer of funds: there is an internal currency of “1 scholarship month” instead. Each country pays its INCOMING students and teachers and has to pledge at least 100 scholarship months per academic year. The CEEPUS Agreement also specifies that these grants be comprehensive grants linked to the local cost of living. So far, experience has shown that this system works very well.
