In addition, it strives for participation in international, regional and EU projects oriented towards education and promotion of cultural heritage which is considered important for tourism industry.

The Centre is also dedicated to assisting students during their outgoing and incoming mobilities. Before arrival of incoming students, the Centre will provide all information about the visa if necessary, accommodation and transportation options, insurance as well as assigning buddy students. The Centre will organize Welcome Week for introducing the incoming students with the College, Serbian language and culture, also for socializing with other students. Outgoing students apply for their mobilities at the Centre and selected candidates come to the Centre for preparation and advising sessions with former outgoing students. The Centre keeps regular contact with all the incoming and outgoing students and follows their progress during mobility period.
