The Neisse University was a trinational academic network held by the cooperating partners University of Applied Sciences Zittau/Görlitz, Technical University of Liberec and Wroclaw University of Technology.

History

The Neisse University was established in 2001, admitting students for degrees in "Information and Communication Management", the only course offered. Its first president was Prof. Dr. Phil. Peter Schmidt.

In 2004 it was accredited by ACQUIN.http://www.acquin.org/

Prof. Klaus ten Hagen was elected as the new president in 2004.

Since 2007 it has been possible to also immatriculate students from other than the three countries participating in the project. This is especially true of the master course which was focused on an internationally diverse student group.

In 2019, Wrocław University of Technology had to terminate its cooperation with Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences and TU Liberec. The Rector of Wrocław University of Technology informed the partner institutions in December 2019 that, due to new regulations in the Polish Higher Education Act, Wrocław University of Technology no longer sees itself in a position to continue its participation in the international Neisse University network. No new students were enrolled for the 2019/2020 semester.[1]
