This October, the city of Tirana will become a hub for international academic cooperation, hosting a series of high-level events dedicated to strengthening ties between European and Western Balkan higher education institutions. At the heart of the programme is the Contact-Building Seminar taking place on Friday, 10 October, organised by the Academic Cooperation Association on behalf of the European Commission, in the framework of the Study in Europe initiative (for more info, see ACA Newsletter – Education Europe, June 2024).
Please note: The Contact-Building Seminar is exclusively open to representatives of higher education institutions.
The seminar will connect higher education institutions from the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro) with their counterparts across Erasmus+ programme countries, with a particular focus on International Credit Mobility (ICM), Erasmus Mundus (EM), and Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE). Designed to support meaningful and sustainable collaboration, the seminar will feature plenary sessions and tailored bilateral matchmaking meetings. It will take place in hybrid format, with participation free of charge.
