International Scholarships and Academic Mobility

The term “academic mobility,” or just “mobility,” refers to a residence—that is, to the mobility of students and staff in higher educational institutions.

“Student mobility” refers to a study or participation in a professional practicum at a foreign institution, whereafter a student returns to a home institution and completes the studies he or shee is enrolled in, an exception thereto being a professional practicum that can be attended even subsequent to the completion of studies.

“Staff mobility” refers to a stay of the employees of a home institution at a foreign institution for the purpose of holding classes (teaching staff only) and professional development (teaching and non‐teaching staff).

The term can refer to the short exchange programs (e.g., to a period of several days, one semester, or one academic year, which is then recognized at the home institution in one of the prescribed ways) or to the complete study programs that end with the award of a diploma (i.e., a degree program).

Students and (non‐)teaching staff can participate in academic mobility through various mobility programs administered by the Office for International Cooperation and Projects, such as the Erasmus+, CEEPUS, and other mobility programs.

Academic mobility can also be based on bilateral cooperation agreements between Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek and the Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences Osijek with foreign universities.

Erasmus+

The aim of the Erasmus+ Program is to modernize and improve higher education throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

The students and staff are provided with an opportunity to develop their skills and increase employment opportunities. The universities and companies exchange good practices within the framework of Knowledge Pooling.

Higher educational institutions from the participating countries may cooperate with those from the neighboring states, the non‐EU Western Balkans countries, and with Asia, Africa, and Latin America concerning the issues of development of their educational systems.

CEEPUS

The CEEPUS Program primarily aims to promote mobility within the CEEPUS networks.

The CEEPUS network consists of at least three member institutions from at least three CEEPUS Member States, with one member having the role of a network coordinator. In practice, the number of members within the network is significantly higher. The coordinators and partners may be higher educational institutions and their constituents.

Within the CEEPUS scheme, In addition to the mobilities realized via networks, it is also possible to realize them beyond such a framework (i.e., as the freelancers or freemovers).

All students who plan to paticipate in a mobility scheme during their studies are advised to have a new X Card issued. The new digital student card brings Croatia closer to the digital European society, as well as to the European educational area, in which excellence is available to everyone. Croatia is thus the first European Union (EU) Member State to issue the student cards in line with the European Student Card to all students, and the new cards have a built‐in European student identifier.

You may contact the Office for International Cooperation and Projects for all the necessary information regarding student mobility and exchange. Student mobilities, however, can only be enjoyed starting from one’s sophomore year of studies onward.
