ABOUT INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

The Polytechnic of Rijeka has recognized the importance of internationalization of higher education and, therefore, it carries out the following activities:

• developing international cooperation with partner institutions in Europe and the world
• encouraging mobility of students, teachers and non-teaching staff (Erasmus+ and CEEPUS programs).

The European Commission has awarded the ''Erasmus Charter for Higher Education 2021–2027'' certificate to the Polytechnic of Rijeka, which will enable the Polytechnic to participate in the activities of the Erasmus+ program in the next period.

In order to enable a higher quality of college education, work and training for teaching and non-teaching staff, the Polytechnic of Rijeka entered the Erasmus mobility program in 2009.

The exchange of teaching and non-teaching staff ensures multifold positive outcomes, for instance, the Erasmus+ program served as a basis for developing new study programs. The Polytechnic of Rijeka in cooperation with its bilateral partner from Germany, TH Wildau from Berlin, developed and founded the undergraduate professional study program of Telematics.
