A few words about VIU:

“VIU is an international university composed of a consortium of twenty-one renowned universities from across the globe, which makes it rather special in the academic environment. The partner universities exchange knowledge and ideas by developing, promoting and organising shared multicultural, international, interdisciplinary academic and research activities, thereby contributing significantly to new forms of teaching, common research results and strategic goals of internationalisation. The University of Ljubljana has been a proud member of this strategic partnership since 2018 and has used it to expand its operations within the wider international environment.

We are very pleased to ascertain that VIU efforts have been acknowledged and that, within these programmes, VIU fulfils the globalisation values we highlight. Despite the coronavirus crisis, our students tell us that VIU is placing great emphasis on establishing a genuine feeling of connectivity. And that is precisely what we all need the most in these unpredictable times. This way we can all become better and stronger.

I am convinced that universities will play an increasingly important role in solving global challenges, and therefore support connectivity, cooperation and mutual assistance is making our common future a reality. I wish VIU at least another twenty-five years of exceptional success and, first and foremost, excellent partnership – as it has been to date.”
