Dear all,
We would cordially like to invite you to take a part at a third edition of our summer schools! Our university is situated in the pleasant city of Liberec, on the very border between Czechia, Germany and Poland, merely one hour by public transport from Prague. It is a charming place and our university contributes to the vibrant face of the city during the academic year. We would like to invite more international students to experience a chance to study here. Therefore, we prepared courses focused on the current European issues seen from the Central European perspective. These courses will be primarily based at our university in Liberec, but their substantial parts will be done by field trips. You will have a chance to attend 3 Central European countries. As summer should be also a fun-time, we prepared the accompanying social programme full of culture and sports. We believe that you will accept our invitation and decide to spend a part of your summer in Liberec.
Welcome!
Dean of the Faculty of Science, Humanities and Education, Technical University of Liberec
