Global world brings global problems in production engineering. Economic pressures urge manufacturers to make more customized products of high quality, in smaller series, with shorter lead time and of course, without increased costs. Time is becoming rapidly the most strategic topic of companies. Costs are also important, more important are competitive price and the most significant are marketability of manufactured products. Therefore producers look for tools to increasing a competitive advantage of enterprises. Naturally the universities have to know to respond on global problems and to be prepared to educate the specialist. The new methods of production engineering, CA systems and technologies, Rapid machining, Virtual prototyping are indeed strong tools for solving the global problems. Such as the production is global also education has global dimension. New forms of education such as e-learning give good possibility to extend collaboration among universities. All activities concerning the “e” (electronic) are keys for solving of global problems of producers and global problems of universities. Except global problem in education it is needful to solve legislative frame of common interest. Joint programs give a good platform for increasing of collaborated universities. Therefore the subject of new CEEPUS network is titled “From preparation to Development, implementation and utilization of Joint Programs in study area of Production Engineering – contribution to higher flexibility , ability and mobility of students in the Central and East European region“. The principal motive is elaboration and implementation Joint programs in study area of Production engineering. All presented activities / organizing of conferences and workshops, seminaries for students and PhD students, support for elaboration and finishing of PhD thesis, excursion/ will be henceforward supported and will be effort to increase their level in framework of Joint programs.
