Visit the University of Primorska
The University of Primorska boasts 68 agreements on the international level with 64 Universities from all over the world, while within the Erasmus+ programme UP collaborates with over 250 universities and boasts more than 350 inter-institutional study agreements in a variety of study fields.
Each semester UP welcomes around 110 students under different mobility schemes.
The largest mobility program is the ERASMUS+ programme. UP has well established links with numerous institutions around the world to facilitate Erasmus+ student and staff exchanges.
In the programme countries (EU, EEA, North Macedonia and Serbia) – Erasmus+ KA131 –home institution selects the candidates, provides them with scholarship and nominates them to the receiving institution. Therefore, if you are coming from a programme country, please contact your international office for procedures related to selection processes and financing.
We are also active in the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility (Erasmus+ KA171), which supports mobilities with institutions from around the globe.
The UP is managing both incoming and outgoing mobilities. All mobility options are published on the University of Primorska webpage.
UP researchers work together with their partners in creating bilateral research projects funded by national authorities. Contact your counterparts at the UP to create a project proposal.
UP is also very active in COST actions. It is leading on action An integrated approach to conservation of threatened plants for the 21st Century (ConservePlants), while UP researchers are very active in quite a few additional actions and organise activities and missions.
CEEPUS is a Central European Exchange Programme, and it is supporting mobilities between students and staff in Central Europe (Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia).
Mobilities are based on established networks. Faculties of UP are participating in different CEEPUS networks:
UP Faculty of Humanities: GEOREGNET; Borders and Borderlines in Cultural Anthropology in the university education; Red de Hispanistas de Europa Central; ARHEOPED; Shared History of Central Europe
UP Faculty of Management: Applied Economics and Management; Central European Network for Sustainable and Innovative Economy
UP Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies: Managing forests for climate change
UP Faculty of Health Sciences: Education, Training and Research in the multidisciplinary field of Sport Sciences
However, when institutions are not involved in networks, individuals can arrange CEEPUS freemover mobilities. Each year, UP faculties accept many Ceepus freemover students and staff, usually in the spring semester. Deadline is November, 30th for attending the mobility in the 2nd semester of the study year. For more information, contact the International Relations Office of the chosen host faculty.
For further specifics, please check the CEEPUS webpage.
Summer schools and conferences offer many opportunities for visiting the UP and collaborate with reseachers. Annually the following Summer School are organised:
- PhD Summer School in Discrete Mathematics,
- Summer School of Museology,
- HALO! Tukaj slovenski Mediteran – a Slovenian language school
Each year UP organises a few more summer schools, but the topics depend each year.
UP welcomes more than 270 researchers for a visit each year. The visit costs are covered by different projects supporting mobility or research collaboration and usually build upon previously existing collaboration.
