SZE and Politécnico de Leiria Collaborate in Education and Research
The partnership between Széchenyi István University and Leiria University, located on the western coast of Portugal, began within the framework of the Regional University Network – European University (RUN-EU) alliance. Due to the similarities in their educational and research fields, their cooperation has deepened across several disciplines.
“Over the past few years, we have implemented multiple short study programmes, further strengthening our relationship and allowing our students to gain valuable international experience. We have also launched a joint Tourism Management Double Degree Master’s Programme with Politécnico de Leiria and are participating in a co-supervised PhD project, which has resulted in higher-level scientific collaboration,” said Dr Júlia Szőke, Vice-Dean for International and Scientific Affairs at the Apáczai Csere János Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences at Széchenyi István University. She added that the partnership has been so successful that researchers from both institutions now collaborate on conferences and publications.
