The Centre for Strategic Partnerships (CSP) was established on 1 February 2018 with the aim of systematic development and deepening Charles University's relationships with its key international partners. To support these activities, it uses its own Fund for the Support of Strategic Partnerships (FSP), financed primarily from the institutional plan of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic.
The CSP strives to create long-term, stable, and mutually beneficial partnerships that have high potential to bring new opportunities for teaching, research, and the university's third role. Strategic partnership means a deeper form of cooperation—not one-time contacts, but lasting relationships, regular activities, and the possibility of developing multilateral cooperation.
