09 czerwca 2021 AWL’s cooperation with foreign universities General Tadeusz Kościuszko Military University of Land Forces is vigorously developing international cooperation with mainly foreign military and civilian universities in various fields. International cooperation is one of the main bases for developing and strengthening the brand of the Military University of Land Forces among foreign military universities. Cooperation with leading American research centres such as The United States Military Academy at West Point, the University of North Georgia in Dahlonega, and the University of Charleston forms an important part of this activity. Joint ventures with foreign partners are key elements in our international activities. We conduct our scientific activities by organising and participating in scientific conferences, seminars and symposia, as well as within innovative international projects of the Strategic Partnership, in military higher education, of which the University is a leader. It is implementing the International Military Leadership Academy project together with military universities from Greece and Portugal. The project’s objective is to devise joint education modules which would develop the leadership competences of future EU’s officers. The cadets successfully participate in specialist training and sports competitions for foreign cadets at AWL and at foreign universities. It is worth mentioning such initiatives as The International Military Leadership Course, specialist high-mountain training, the International Military University Championships for the cup of the AWLF Rector Commandant, the Military Ski Patrol, the Winter Survival, and the Italian Raid Commando-Lombardia. The Military University of Land Forces engages in multilateral cooperation as part of cyclical international endeavours, with the following being especially worth mentioning: The European Military Academies Commandants' Seminar (EMACS), the international Military Academic Forum (iMAF), the European initiative for the exchange of young officers (Emilyo) and the International Symposium on the Development of Military Academies (ISoDoMA). Within the Erasmus+ programme, we engage in cooperation with foreign military and civilian partner universities in the EU, based on bilateral agreements, including semester-long exchanges and internships for cadets and civilian students, as well as the short-term exchange of staff. Among other things, AWL organises an international semester in English in every academic year. This year subsequent agreements under the Erasmus+ programme will be drawn up, including with the Royal Military College Saint-Jean (Canada) and Stellenbosch University (RSA). The University has as its guests cadets from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), who are pursuing their first-cycle (Bachelor) programme in management, specialising in airmobile subunit command, in English. The systematically increasing number of KSA cadets studying at AWL, and the growing Strona 1 interest in the international semester organised by our University, clearly demonstrate that the Military University of Land Forces is a key partner for foreign universities.
