International Relations

GUPES - Global University Partnership on the Environment and Sustainability – works under the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and started its history in June 2012 under the initiative the "Higher Education Sustainability Initiative" (RIO + 20). Currently it has more than 500 partners from universities around the world. The GUPES aims to promote and push ahead issues of the environment and sustainable development into higher education practices and curricula by supporting innovative approaches to education. The Technical University in Zvolen has been in partnership with this organization since January 2015.

From the year 2006 to September 2009, the FEE was an active member of the LE NOTRE II program representing a thematic network within landscape architecture and co-funded by the EU. The target group includes university teachers and students at all levels of studies as well as those interested such as planning and design offices, research institutions, self-governments, independent organizations etc. The program represents a great database of information and contacts in the given area and regularly organizes meetings and conferences. By April 2009, the FEE had shown an inflexible attitude to this program, however, after changing the contact person the information started to be disseminated again, especially among PhD students and staff of the Department of Landscape Planning and Design.

Since January 2011, the Faculty has been a member of the network of international universities implementing the European Convention on Landscape – UNISCAPE, one of the priorities being designing international study programmes, creating mobilities as well as cooperation on joint international projects.
