CEEPUS Network Mobility

Network mobility takes place between partner institutions participating in a common CEEPUS network. The Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Rijeka (EFRI), is a member of two CEEPUS networks through which students and academic staff may apply for mobility, subject to available mobility quotas.

Non-academic staff are generally not eligible to apply, with the exception of network coordinators and international relations office staff participating in network meetings and coordination activities.

The Faculty participates in the following CEEPUS networks: SI-0215 and MK-1301. The MK-1301 network is dedicated to doctoral-level mobility within the CESEENET network.

The number of partner institutions and network coordinators may change over time. An up-to-date list of partner institutions participating in each CEEPUS network is available on the official CEEPUS website:

Student Mobility Requirements

Students wishing to participate in CEEPUS network mobility must meet the following requirements:

– Mobility duration: Study mobility may last up to 10 months, although the usual duration is 4–5 months, depending on available quotas. Short-term mobility of 1–3 months is also available for students undertaking thesis or dissertation research. Further information on student mobility opportunities is available on the Agency for Mobility and EU Programmes website and the CEEPUS website.

– Eligibility: Applicants must be enrolled as full-time or part-time students at their home institution, have completed at least two semesters of undergraduate studies before the start of their mobility period, and hold citizenship of a CEEPUS member country.

– Pre-selection procedure: Applicants must successfully complete the pre-selection process at their home institution and submit the following supporting documents: a curriculum vitae (CV), a motivation letter, proof of student status and academic transcripts from all levels of study completed or currently attended.

Following the pre-selection procedure, selected applicants must submit their official online application through the CEEPUS portal within the prescribed application deadlines.

Completion of Mobility and Required Documentation

Towards the end of the mobility period, the host institution issues a Letter of Confirmation verifying the student’s participation in the mobility programme.

Within 14 days of completing their mobility, students must upload the Letter of Confirmation to the CEEPUS portal and complete their Mobility Report.

These steps are required to document the use of the awarded scholarship and establish eligibility for a lump-sum contribution towards travel expenses.

Academic Staff Mobility Requirements

Academic staff may participate in mobility for teaching and/or supervision purposes, with a minimum teaching or supervision commitment of 6 hours per week at a partner institution within the CEEPUS network.

Mobility may last up to one month, depending on available quotas, and must be arranged in advance with an academic host at the receiving institution.

Financial Support

Information on scholarship amounts and financial conditions applicable in individual CEEPUS member countries is available on the official CEEPUS website.

Country-specific information can be accessed by selecting the relevant national flag at the bottom of the page.

Application Procedure for Academic Staff

Interested academic staff members should submit their proposed mobility applications to marko.donadic@efri.uniri.hr within the prescribed deadlines.

Proposals must include:

• Host institution: Name of the foreign partner institution where the mobility is to take place.
• Proposed teaching activities: Titles of the topics to be covered during the mobility period, including the number of teaching hours allocated to each topic.
• Proposed mobility period: Planned dates of departure and return.

Following the review of submitted proposals, eligible applicants will be invited to complete the official online application through the CEEPUS portal, in accordance with the applicable deadlines.

CEEPUS Freemover Mobility

Freemover mobility is available across all networks and partner institutions participating in the CEEPUS programme. Students and academic staff may apply for mobility opportunities, subject to the availability of remaining mobility quotas. Non-academic staff are not eligible to apply.

A complete list of CEEPUS networks and their partner institutions is available on the official CEEPUS website:

Freemover mobility offers a wider choice of host institutions than network mobility. However, the chances of receiving a scholarship are generally lower, as funding depends on quotas remaining after network mobility allocations.

Student Freemover Mobility Requirements

The eligibility requirements, duration and types of mobility, as well as financial conditions, are the same as those applicable to CEEPUS network mobility.

The main difference lies in the application procedure, which requires applicants to obtain and submit additional documentation:

• Freemover Letter of Acceptance: An official confirmation from the receiving institution agreeing to host the student.
• Two Freemover Letters of Recommendation: Two letters of recommendation issued by the student’s home institution.

The required forms are available on the official CEEPUS website:

CEEPUS Forms and Downloads

Following the completion of the pre-selection procedure at their home faculty, applicants must upload these documents as part of their official online CEEPUS application.

The pre-selection procedure and its documentation requirements are the same as those described under CEEPUS Network Mobility.

Academic Staff Freemover Mobility Requirements

The eligibility requirements, duration and types of mobility, as well as financial conditions, are the same as those applicable to CEEPUS network mobility for academic staff.

The main difference is the application procedure, which requires applicants to obtain a:

– Freemover Teacher Letter of Acceptance: An official confirmation from the receiving institution agreeing to host the academic staff member for the proposed mobility period.

The required form is available on the official CEEPUS website:

CEEPUS Forms and Downloads

Academic staff must first submit their mobility proposals to the International Mobility Office at their home faculty, following the procedure described under CEEPUS Network Mobility.

Once the submitted proposals have been reviewed, applicants must upload the Freemover Teacher Letter of Acceptance as part of their official online CEEPUS application.

The deadlines for submitting online CEEPUS applications for student and academic staff mobility are as follows:

– 1 June – Deadline for network mobility applications for the winter semester of the following academic year.

– 1 July – Deadline for Freemover mobility applications for the winter semester of the following academic year, where applicable. Freemover mobility generally takes place during the summer semester.

– 1 November – Deadline for network and Freemover mobility applications for the summer semester of the following academic year.

Important: All online CEEPUS applications must be preceded by an internal pre-application procedure at the home faculty, coordinated by the International Mobility Office.

Pre-applications must be submitted 2–3 weeks before the official online CEEPUS application deadlines, together with the mobility proposal and supporting documentation specified in the relevant CEEPUS mobility requirements.
