Our University manages its institutional partnerships not merely as a “number of agreements” but with active use, sustainability and conversion into concrete outputs as its goal. Partnerships are conducted through two main channels: Erasmus+ bilateral agreements and non-Erasmus MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) protocols.
Bilateral agreements with 51 institutions from 13 countries (60 agreements) strengthen international academic integration through student and staff mobility. Poland stands out in terms of the number of agreements and mobility intensity; through regular student placements it ensures the sustainability of mobility.
Active MoU / cooperation protocols with 6 higher-education institutions from 5 countries offer a flexible framework for student exchange, academic cooperation, joint research and project development. Strengthening relations with the Gulf, the Caucasus, South-East Asia, North Africa and the TRNC is a strategic objective.

Proposals for new agreements and partnerships are evaluated through the International Relations Office on the principles of transparency, planning and sustainability. Partnerships develop not only through the institutional channel but also through the scientific networks of academic staff as well; the Office provides coordination and support in institutionalising these relationships and making them sustainable.
Through this network, our University strengthens internationalisation both through Europe-centred mobility networks and through partnerships in the Middle East and the near region — building a multi-faceted and sustainable model.
