Projects and Grants

Thematically-focused projects are implemented most commonly at the level of universities’ departments or institutes. In all cases, at least five universities from the five countries involved in the CEEPUS programme, which together form a “network”, participate in the implementation of a project.

Activities within the network may include:

  • Mobility of academics and university staff
  • Short-term student stays
  • Semester-long student stays
  • Intensive courses (Summer/Winter schools)
  • Field trips (excursions)
  • Network meetings

 

Educators can go on teaching stays. University staff of foreign departments can benefit from jobshadowing. During stays abroad, students can attend seminars and lectures relevant to their field of study. The ECTS credits they accumulate will then be recognised by their home university. Short-term stays are intended for a final thesis or dissertation for a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree. Field trips and summer schools are also popular. Students can also go on work placements, provided that the host university is the guarantor.

Reasons for joining the CEEPUS programme:

  • Everything is explained clearly online at www.ceepus.info
  • Opportunity for the long-term continuity of projects
  • Easy administration and simple financing: the scholarship is paid by the host country. Travel expenses may be covered by the sending university
  • Support for short-term stays
  • Easier recognition of studies within ECTS
  • Students do not pay tuition fees
  • Contact person at the host university
  • Individual “freemover” mobility
  • Emphasis on joint programmes and the award of joint degrees
  • Umbrella solution: the possibility of obtaining student status without financial support

Are you considering setting up a new network?

First of all, take a look at the list of already approved networks and their thematic focus and consider partnering one of them. If you are interested in this option, contact the network coordinator.

None of the existing networks suit you?

Then you can set up your own. Network project applications are always made for one academic year, with the possibility of further extension.

How to apply:

  1. Register at www.ceepus.info and ask the Czech National Office to assign you network coordinator rights. Familiarise yourself in detail with What is new in the application round, a document published for applicants by the Central CEEPUS Office for each call for project proposals. The document also includes project evaluation information. We also recommend using the trial evaluation form, which you will find for logging in to your profile.

  2. Contact potential partner universities and create a project together, including exchange activities.

  3. Agree which university is to coordinate the network. The other universities will have partner status. The contact persons for each partner university should register at www.ceepus.info. More than one person may register for an institution, e.g. for purposes of representation, but only one person may be the main coordinator. This coordinator prepares an online application and the other contact persons ask their National Offices to be allocated rights to the new network. The coordinator submits an application for the next academic year by 30th November.

  4. The coordinator and the partners upload the following mandatory documents to the system for their institution by the set deadline: Letter of Endorsement – this is the university rector’s consent to participation in network activities, and it relieves scholarship-holders of the obligation to pay tuition fees. Letter of Intent – this is the faculty dean’s consent to participation in network activities and confirms that the students’ studies abroad will be recognised. 

  5. The network coordinator is notified of the outcome of the evaluation process in March.

More tips for a successful project

  • What do stakeholders expect from their involvement in the project?
  • What can the network offer the participating institutions and what is the value added of individual institutions’ involvement?
  • How will the mutual recognition of studies and quality control be ensured?
  • What plans are there for exchange activities in the form of student and teacher mobility, summer schools, field trips, etc.? On what scale?
  • How will the project be coordinated and continuously monitored?
