Bavarian-Czech Academic Agency

The Bavarian-Czech Academic Agency (Bayerisch-Tschechische Hochschulagentur, BTHA) was launched in 2016 following the development report of the Bavaria-Czech border area. It originally used funds provided by the Bavarian State Ministry of Finance, State Development and Homeland and is now supported by the Bavarian State Ministry for Science and the Arts. In the Czech Republic, the main partner is the Czech Ministry for Education, Youth and Sport.

The BTHA is affiliated with the Bavarian Academic Center for Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe (BAYHOST) and acts as the central contact partner for all aspects of bilateral cooperation between Bavaria and the Czech Republic in the field of higher education.
