University Canada West was pleased to welcome four professors from Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Hungary, for a research and teaching exchange focused on knowledge sharing, academic collaboration and future opportunities for partnership.
The visit builds on an academic relationship established through Erasmus+ mobility, which has provided opportunities for faculty from UCW and ELTE to exchange knowledge, develop research connections and collaborate on scholarly work. These initial exchanges have since contributed to joint research and publications.
“This exchange with Eötvös Loránd University reflects University Canada West’s commitment to international academic collaboration and research excellence. The partnership, which began through Erasmus+ mobility, has already resulted in joint research and publications, demonstrating the value of sustained engagement between our faculty."
Dr. Mazi Shirvani, UCW’s Interim Vice President, Academic
During their visit to Vancouver, the ELTE professors presented their research and engaged with UCW faculty and members of the university community. They also discussed the next phase of collaboration. European funding was secured for a second series of exchanges to run from 2026-2029 that will include students and faculty.
Three UCW professors visited Hungary earlier this year. A number of research publication outputs have resulted from this research exchange.
