The Euro-Asian Academic Forum (EAAF)

The Euro-Asian Academic Forum is the outcome of several years of collaboration between the University of Ostrava’s Faculty of Arts and universities from Eastern Europe and Asia. Inspired by its positive experience of this collaboration, the Faculty of Arts is keen to develop and build on these international links by organizing and coordinating a range of activities under the banner of the EAAF, which will offer support and infrastructure to all institutions involved. The Ostrava Faculty of Arts can call on a wealth of experience from participating in various cross-border cooperation projects – including exchange schemes facilitating student mobility, student work placements, academic staff visits, and programmes developing teaching methods. The Faculty has also successfully participated in international programmes for many years, including the prestigious Comenius, Erasmus and Grundtvig schemes. As part of these programmes, hundreds of the Faculty’s students have benefited from the opportunity to travel on study visits to almost all EU member states. Thanks to this long-term experience with the structures and mechanisms involved in such student mobility programmes, the Faculty can offer a highly professional approach to inter-university cooperation with EU and non-EU countries alike.
