During the study visit, the Hungarian experts gained an in-depth overview of the operations of St. Pölten University, which plays a pioneering role in the development of European higher education, as well as the work of the EUDRES European University Alliance it leads. The discussions focused on exploring opportunities for cooperation and identifying directions for joint development.
