In international cooperation, the Erasmus+ program at the University of Hradec Králové ("UHK") has a longstanding tradition and support, with the ambition to develop foreign relations - the principles embedded in the program are applied in other areas of the university life and reflected in its documents. Within its strategic plan, UHK has developed a separate Internationalization Strategy, which considers the Erasmus+ program as a significant cornerstone for the development of internationalization. The Erasmus+ program thus strengthens the internationalization of the environment, increases attractiveness of the UHK, develops global competence of students, so-called „internationalization at home,“ fosters international collaboration, and enhance promotion of the university abroad. The number of Erasmus agreements grows slowly and the new program period 2021-2027 is used to revise qualitative aspects of collaboration under existing agreements and to deepen ongoing cooperation. Compared to the past, there is a greater emphasis on developing strategic partnerships, including the „European University“ initiative. The Erasmus+ program thus creates opportunities for a shift toward a modern university.
