The overall goal of this project is to improve higher education provision in Kosovo and Albania by building institutional capacity for international relations whereby establishing or making fully functional respective offices (including capacity for project cycle management) in all eight Kosovo and five Albanian consortium members. This project will build institutional capacity for the internationalization of higher education in Kosovo and Albania and will improve capacity for project development and management through international expertise made available by European higher education institutions partnering in this project and exchange of good practices between the consortium members. This will make way for local higher education institutions to engage confidently in various academic and research cooperation initiatives in the region, in Europe, and wider. The project is going to change the way of work within partner universities, as it will improve and increase the capacities of the professors, assistants, administration, and students, to reach the level of the European Universities. In that way, the new experiences that will be gained during the study visits and workshops in European universities will be used at the local level both in Kosovo and Albania. This way the entire project will support the study flow within HEI in Kosovo and Albania, in that way that will improve the quality of education, increasing mobility of professors, assistants, administration, and mainly students, by making new curricula of programs, which will be held in English language, by increasing the incoming mobility.
