Union University in Belgrade (UUB) is committed to establishing, nurturing and advancing international cooperation, which includes the implementation of joint activities with foreign universities, as well as cooperation with international organisations focusing on education.
Through such cooperation, UUB has been striving to contribute to scientific and cultural ties and understanding, advance the skills and knowledge of its professors, researchers, students and staff, as well as strengthen the academic community in Serbia. We believe that the internationalisation of high education creates a dynamic, innovative, integrative and open academic community, capable of coping with the challenges of modern society and economy. It is also a good way to measure ourselves (against others).
UUB is particularly committed to building cooperation networks with educational institutions within the European Higher Education Area and the region. One of our main priorities is to forge regional ties with a view to celebrating our shared European heritage of civic values and a good society – perceived through the lens of intercultural exchange. UUB holds the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE), which enables universities to participate in eu high education programmes.
We have supported many professor and student mobilities through the Erasmus+ programme. Our professors have also been participating in European COST Action projects. In addition, many of our professors have studied or lectured at foreign universities, participated in scholarly events abroad and built networks strengthening international cooperation.
UUB is also committed to strengthening the exceptionality of instruction and engaging leading foreign professors as visiting professors, with a view to ensuring that our students are exposed to a truly international learning experience.
