Metropolitan University Prague Welcomes Delegation from Leading Taiwanese Universities
12. 12. 2025 Author: Aleš Karmazin Metropolitan University Prague was visited by a delegation of thirty representatives from twelve leading Taiwanese universities. In a pleasant and constructive atmosphere, they met with representatives of the MUP management, individual departments, CVVA and the International Office to discuss opportunities for the further development of mutual academic cooperation.The meeting was part of the cooperation between a network of Taiwanese and Czech universities, which was effectively launched last year. Within this framework, opportunities are being created for joint grant and research projects, as well as language stays for students in Taiwan focused on intensive Chinese language learning.
This year, as part of this cooperation, three of our students went to Taiwan for a semester-long study stay, and a further six students completed a shorter language program. In 2026, we anticipate that a similar number of MUP students will participate in such exchanges.
