International
The Private University in the Principality of Liechtenstein (UFL) combines regional roots with an international outlook. Collaborations with partners in Liechtenstein, the Lake Constance region and worldwide expand research and teaching, promote academic exchange and open up shared perspectives on key scientific issues.
For students and researchers, this means access to international programmes, joint projects and an expanded scientific environment. Collaborations thus create a framework for incorporating different perspectives and jointly observing and classifying current developments with partners.
Regional partnerships with impact
The UFL maintains close cooperation with Liechtenstein and its neighbours. Joint projects with local institutions, associations and scientific establishments directly integrate research into the region. For example, the UFL works with partners from the fields of medicine and law on topics that are crucial for society and the location, thereby actively contributing to the further development of the regional science and innovation area.
Alliances in research and teaching
The UFL maintains a wide range of international partnerships with universities, networks and member institutions. This cooperation enables joint research projects and teaching programmes, promotes academic exchange and creates strategic visibility beyond the DACH region. This positions the UFL in an international environment that works together on global issues.
International centers as a source of ideas
With international centres, the UFL works on future-oriented fields of high social and scientific relevance. The Centre for Space and Aviation Law (CSA) and the Centre for Intellectual Property and Law (CIPIL) are examples of topics that are developed in international collaboration. Strategic cooperation with partners creates the framework for conducting well-founded research into complex developments and contributing scientific insights to global debates.
Programmes with partner universities
Erasmus+ at the UFL
The UFL participates in the Erasmus+ programme and enables students, academic staff and professional staff to undertake international study, teaching and training mobility within the European Higher Education Area.
International mobility broadens disciplinary perspectives, strengthens academic networks and promotes scholarly exchange across national borders. Erasmus+ supports mobility through structured cooperation with partner universities as well as through financial support.
Opportunities within the Erasmus+ programme
- Study mobility at European partner universities
- Teaching mobility for academic staff
- Training and professional development opportunities for staff
Participants receive organisational support from UFL and – depending on the programme format – financial support.
UFL holds the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE), which confirms its eligibility to participate in the Erasmus+ programme and ensures compliance with the programme’s quality standards.
In Liechtenstein, Erasmus+ is coordinated by AIBA – the Agency for International Educational Affairs, which acts as the National Agency.
