Founding cooperation
Cooperation with the Danube Rectors’ Conference
The Novi Sad campus was established in 2015 together with the partner universities of the Danube Rectors’ Conference. The cooperation is not symbolic: it shapes the curricula, the teaching staff, the clinical training and the scholarships.
- Joint curricula in medicine, dentistry and pharmacy, reviewed each year by a joint academic committee.
- Visiting professors from the partner universities teach a semester on the Novi Sad campus.
- Elective clinical rotations of four to eight weeks in the University Clinical Centre of Serbia network.
- Danube Scholarship Endowment — sixty awards a year covering half of tuition.
- Joint research call with a combined fund of 640,000 EUR over two years.
