Within the framework of Key Action 1, the department of SEMIT actively collaborates with the Alpine-Adriatic University of Klagenfurt: students of the department have the opportunity to undergo internships at this prominent European university. Among the disciplines that they study at the technical faculty of this university there are the following: “Technologies of semantic Web space”, “Interoperability of information systems”, “Actual sections of software engineering systems”, as well as an intensive German course to correspond A1 level. There is an ongoing double degree programme with this university, as well as the Linneus University of Växjö (Sweden) and the College of Public Administration Economics and Management, Bratislava, Slovakia.

The department also introduced a project of academic mobility Erasmus+ KA 107 between NTU “KhPI” (department of Software Engineering and Management Intelligent Technologies) and the Poznan University of Economics and Business, which involves students and lecturers mobility.
