On October 9, 2025, the Hungarian Dance University hosted the first CEEPUS “Arts in Motion” network meeting. The event was organized to strengthen international cooperation among higher education institutions in the fields of dance and performing arts, marking an important milestone in the activities of the newly established network.
The “Arts in Motion” network was founded in 2025 within the framework of the CEEPUS program. Its aim is to deepen professional connections, initiate joint research and educational projects, and create new mobility opportunities for dance students and teachers. Particular emphasis is placed on exploring the relationship between dance and health, as well as developing programs that promote mental well-being.
The following partner universities were represented at the meeting:
- Alma Mater Europea, Dance Academy (Slovenia) — Prof. Dr. Svebor Secak
- AST National Academy of Theatre Arts in Cracow, Bytom – Dance Theatre Department (Poland) — Agnieszka Osman-Tura
- University of Salzburg, Department of Art, Music and Dance Studies (Austria) — Dr. Miriam Althammer

During the meeting, participants shared their experiences and discussed the network’s future program plans. Preparations have begun for concrete collaborations, the organization of student and staff mobilities, as well as the extension of the project and the inclusion of new members.
We express our sincere gratitude to all participants for their active involvement, inspiring ideas, and cooperation, which continue to strengthen the professional community of the “Arts in Motion” network.
