The Office for International and Inter-Institutional Cooperation at the University of Defence and Security “Dr. Franjo Tuđman” is responsible for promoting and developing collaborations with relevant universities, research centres, and institutions across Europe and the world in the fields of education, research, and professional defence and security activities.

Through partnership agreements and strategic links with related institutions, the Office strengthens the University's position within the European and global academic community, offering students and staff opportunities for professional and personal growth in an international environment.

The Office's activities include exchange programmes such as ERASMUS+ and EMILYO (Military Erasmus), providing students with access to both military and civilian exchange programmes and professional development through study visits at foreign military academies and universities. ERASMUS+ allows participation in academic programmes abroad, while EMILYO enables knowledge and skills exchange within international military education institutions. EMILYO contributes to developing interoperability and a shared security culture within the European Union and NATO alliance.

The Office also supports the establishment of inter-institutional partnerships with governmental, non-governmental, and private sector entities, enabling students, researchers, and academic staff to connect and collaborate more effectively with other societal stakeholders. The Office provides comprehensive support to students and staff in their international engagements, including counselling, administrative assistance, and coordination of exchange programmes.
