The Education Working Group

The vice rectors for education form the strategic base for the Education Working Group. The operative core of the Education Working Group is formed by the Vice Rectors for Education from each partner university. The first goal of the Education Working Group is to collaborate with the Student representatives in order to enhance exchange activities between the member universities. Also any collaboration in education is welcomed and supported.
