​

The main focus of EU MEDITERRANI is to carry out projects that support the institution’s development strategy, and are in line with the EU Modernisation Agenda for Higher Education. The institution will continue to expand its cooperation with other HEIs in Europe for the joint implementation of educational solutions that foster the adoption of best practices, as well as joint development of curricula, teaching and learning resources, polices and regulations that built the trademark of European education. The institution aims to propose projects linking the world of education with the world of work through the creation of the new multidisciplinary curricula that promote entrepreneurship and develop relevant skills and competencies. The intention is to create programmes that address the needs of an industry and are deeply rooted in a daily practice of the company. Another important factor is the exploitation of research results in industry and paving new ways for the long-term strategic partnerships that foster the generation of new ideas and interdisciplinary research initiatives. The priority for EU MEDITERRANI is the implementation of projects with countries outside the EU to support changes to the organisation of work, processes, procedures and strengthen areas of functioning that are significant for the development of the partner countries’ institutions. These would enhance the processes of modernisation and lay the foundations for the internationalisation, as well as enable more intense cooperation in the domains of teaching research and mobility of students and staff.

 

EU MEDITERRANI focuses the organization in improving its efficiency in increasing entrepreneurship and attracting students. Priority is put on creating encouraging environment for academics to develop their interests, initiate new projects, develop international cooperation and build partnerships with non-academic and business organizations.
