Visegrad University Studies Grant (VUSG)

The Visegrad University Studies Grant is a grant program designed for universities with the aim to promote and support the development and launching of outstanding university courses or degree programs that deal with specific phenomena explicitly related to the Visegrad Group (V4) countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia).

The grant is intended as a lump-sum, one-installment grant (in the amount of EUR15,000 for selected courses and EUR50,000 for selected degree programs) awarded to university departments, schools or faculties, which can present the course's/program's thorough syllabus/curriculum and confirm its planned long-term enrollment.

Any public or private university in the world is eligible for the grant.
