On 21 January 2020, the University of Szeged signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the University of Novi Sad (Serbia) in the field of health sciences as part of a cooperation established (in September 2019) between the Hungarian Ministry of Human Capacities and the Health Ministry of the Serbian Government.

On 13 February 2020, the University and its Faculty of Law and Political Sciences reached a turning point with the signature of another strategic cooperation, realizing the goals set forth in a Government Resolution of 4 April 2014. In this Resolution the Hungarian Government acknowledged that “the academic and scientific cooperation between the University Business Academy of Novi Sad and the University of Szeged Faculty of Law and Political Sciences is of outstanding significance in elevating the standards of legal education across the border.”
