International Cooperation

Since its establishment in Minsk in 1992, EHU has developed an extensive range of international cooperation with institutions located around the world. It was on the strength of its international reputation that EHU found tremendous support for the re-establishment of activities relocated in Lithuania. The University successfully renewed its international ties and initiated new forms of cooperation with European and North American institutions in the following areas:

• Bilateral cooperation agreements with 14 universities or research institutions in 8 countries for student and teacher mobility and exchange, with other agreements under development;
• Reciprocal recognition of degrees and credit transfer arrangements under development with over 25 European institutions participating in Erasmus, Erasmus Mundus ECW, Campus Europae,  and NORDplus;
• Expanded course offerings in English, German and French;
• Joint degree programs under development;
• Student internship programs in Europe and North America;
• Collaborative international research programs;
• Membership in international university organizations and networks;
• Participation in prestigious international competitions;
• Administrative and organizational management development; and
• Inter-faculty exchange.

With more than 17 years of experience in the development of international higher education for Belarusian youth, EHU has retained distinctly competent features in its temporary relocation to a European Union country.

The European Humanities University participates in a number of programs in various fields. New projects and programs will be introduced in 2010.

• The Election Observation: Theory and Practice Project (EOTP)
• Human Rights summer school
• Support for freedom of expression via independent radio broadcasting
