The Institute regularly cooperates with numerous national and specially with international colleagues and institutions. Since the establishment it has collaborated with Radio Študent (RŠ) which had a regular transmission Egon March Institute presents (1991 - 1996) which included MUU (Media Uplink Unit). Radio Študent and KUD also broadcasted Van Gogh TV Piazza Virtuale, a project presented at Dokumenta IX in Kassel in 1992. The project connected a local newly born commercial TV Kanal A which transmitted the picture from the satellite TV (SAT1) and the sound of Radio Študent together. The interactive TV programme was marked with all pre-internet technological solutions. Egon March Institute also actively collaborated with Video Production Kregar Studio (VPK Studio). Together they have produced several projects for example Cukrarna (Sugar Factory) (first presented at Mediennbienale Leipzig 1994) .
