The Ludovika University of Public Service (LUPS) welcomes applications from lecturers and researchers based in Central and Eastern Europe. The Program aims to provide LUPS members with the opportunity to engage with academics, researchers, and experts from Central and Eastern Europe, while enabling visiting lecturers to learn about the work of LUPS scholars and to foster stronger collaborations with their scientific partners.
In the framework of the Program the successful applicants shall spend a week at LUPS, delivering public lectures, participating in workshops and taking part in professional discussions organized by the host faculties or research institutes. This will facilitate closer cooperation with the lecturers’ home institutions and enable the exploration of opportunities for collaborative research and publications, as well as future joint or double-degree programs.
