Contractual Cooperation with Foreign Institutions at Faculty Level

Organisation of International Scientific and Professional Events

International cooperation

The objective of international cooperation at the Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies of the Technical University of Košice (FVT TUKE) is to expand the faculty’s contacts and cooperation, particularly with prominent international partners and institutions. This cooperation is implemented at the faculty level as well as at the level of its individual departments through the organisation of international scientific and professional events and participation in international research projects. It is further supported by student and staff mobility within the Erasmus+, CEEPUS, and National Scholarship Programme of the Slovak Republic. At present, the faculty is involved in four international research projects. Within the Erasmus+ programme, the faculty has contractual cooperation agreements with 35 foreign institutions, while Faculty staff members act as local coordinators of 10 CEEPUS networks.
