On May 26th and 27th, the second partner meeting of the INTECO project will be held at Adriatik University Bar in Montenegro. Partners from various universities and institutions involved in the project will gather to discuss progress, share experiences , and plan the next steps for enhancing international cooperation and collaboration with the business sector in the Western Balkans.

The INTECO project (https://www.inteco.eubd.edu.ba/) aims to improve the process of international cooperation and cooperation with higher education institutions in the countries of the Western Balkans (European University of Brčko District BIH, University "VITEZ", University Hercegovina, Adriatic University Bar) through networking with universities from the EU (Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Baltazar Zaprešić College with public rights, Academy of Technical and Artistic Vocational Studies) and the private sector.

The INTECO project includes higher education institutions from the Western Balkans that have not yet had international cooperation or whose cooperation has not been at a high level.

EU partner institutions will provide assistance to higher education institutions in the Western Balkans with their experience and best practices in achieving the goals of the project. The INTECO project will enable international cooperation to be raised to a higher level at the higher education institutions in the Western Balkans (WB) and create the conditions for participation in other international and regional project calls and mobility. Also, the Western Balkans INTECO project will allow higher education institutions to establish stronger connections between the Western Balkans and the business sector.

The goal of the project is to establish new International Cooperation Centers (ICC) and Career Development Centers (CDC) at higher education institutions in the Western Balkans, as well as to develop an internationalization strategy with the help of EU partners.

Through the development of the ICC, the project will contribute to capacity building and raising the quality level of education and scientific research activities at the universities through international cooperation and the implementation of international projects. The main goals of the Internationalization Strategy will be: improvement of study programs, increasing the number of incoming and outgoing mobilities, enhancing cooperation with foreign universities, scientific institutions, businesses, and other partner institutions through international projects, digitalization, inclusion, and ecological sustainability.

The role of the CDC will be to assist students and graduates of higher education institutions in the Western Balkans in realizing their career plans, helping them acquire relevant experience, knowledge, and skills during their studies that will be important for further professional development and employment, as well as connecting them with the business community and preparing them for a successful entry into the labor market after graduation.

The next meeting of the INTECO project signatories will be held in Bar at Adriatic University Bar from May 26 to 27, 2025.

The INTECO project aims to improve the process of international cooperation and collaboration with the economy of higher education institutions in the Western Balkans (European University Brčko District BIH, University “VITEZ”, University Hercegovina, Adriatik University Bar) through networking with EU higher education institutions (Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, University of Applied Sciences with public rights Baltazar Zaprešić, Academy of Technical and Artistic Vocational Studies) and the business sector, the HIT d.o.o. radio broadcasting production and commercial activities company. The goal of the project is to create new International Cooperation Centers (ICC) and Career Development Centers (CDC) at higher education institutions in the Western Balkans, as well as to develop an internationalization strategy with the help of EU partners.

The joint EU and Council of Europe project "Priorities of Higher Education Development in Bosnia and Herzegovina for the period 2016-2026" outlines a plan regarding the connection between the labor market and higher education, which, among other things, plans to modernize existing study programs and increase the number of study programs for qualifications in demand on the labor market, as well as give high priority to research and innovation at higher education institutions—supported by governments—and direct innovation toward priority areas (new industries, Horizon projects, etc.).

Through the development of ICC, the project will contribute to capacity building and improving the quality of education and scientific research activities at universities through international cooperation and the realization of international projects. The main goals of the Internationalization Strategy will be: improving study programs, increasing the number of incoming and outgoing mobility, enhancing cooperation with foreign universities, scientific institutions, the economy, and other partner institutions through international projects, digitalization, inclusion, and environmental sustainability. The role of the CDC will be to assist students and graduates of higher education institutions in the Western Balkans in realizing their career plans, meaning helping them acquire relevant experiences, knowledge, and skills during their studies that will be important for further development and employment, as well as connecting them with the business community and preparing them for a successful entry into the labor market after completing their studies.
