Over the past few years, MIFET has been dynamic in initiating and developing broader educational links within Europe. A number of highly successful exchange projects have resulted.

The Irish Institute for European Affairs in Leuven, Belgium hosted four Hotel, Catering and Tourism students for their industrial placement in 1993 under the PETRA programme.

The LINGUA project of 1995/6 involved a joint exchange of MIFET Computer and Business students with their Portugeese counterparts. Staff at the Institute are involved on an ongoing basis in cross cultural programmes. The SOCRATES project during 1996/7 linked MIFET with European partners- Kursuscentre, Denmark and Pontypridd College, Wales in the development of a European Studies Module.
