The University of Debrecen is planning to establish cooperation with universities and Hungarian teachers' associations in neighbouring countries for sharing best practices and implementing joint development programs in the future. At the 28th National Conference for Public Education and Vocational Training Experts, which was held in Eger, members of UD’s leadership discussed how our institution’s expertise and competences in training, research and professional fields could be harmonized with the needs of Hungarian professional organizations and institutions of higher education across Hungary’s borders.
