The University of Antwerp has long been a partner to universities in the Czech Republic. During the meeting, the parties studied an analysis of the current situation of this collaboration as well as a list of areas, in which the Czech Republic would like to increase its activity- long term collaboration with academics in research as well as teaching, internships and traineeships abroad, double/joint degrees, cooperation in science and technology, exchange of tutors and academic, exchanges of researchers, energy and the environment, shared programmes within the Horizon 2020 framework, lifelong learning programmes, etc., as well as what the Czech Republic could offer- English language study programmes, practical education in cutting edge laboratories, specific study programmes such as biotechnology, nanotechnology or mechatronics, presence at conferences, spin-off innovation, or healthcare programmes like nursing, social work/charity, plant medicine, viticulture, etc.

As a part of the Utrecht Network, which focuses on the internationalisation of universities, Antwerp has a partner programme with the Masaryk University in the Czech Republic.
