Propose a partnership

Professors and lecturers at the University of Fribourg can actively contribute to the development of the University's international relations.

They can initiate partnership agreements (bilateral agreements with European universities or conventions with non-European universities), which

• strengthen their contacts with colleagues at partner universities,
• enable students to complete an exchange semester or a year abroad,
• allow members of the teaching staff to be invited to partner universities.

Partnership agreements that relate to a European university must be distinguished from those made with non-European universities. As partnerships with European universities are usually concluded as part of the Swiss European Mobility Programme (SEMP).

Swissuniversities has developed guidelines for responsible international cooperation. These guidelines provide useful information on how to organize academic collaboration.
