A little late to the photo party, but some moments are simply too good not to share! 📸
✨ And what a blast it was! ✨💙
From 13–15 October, Montenegro had the pleasure of hosting the Erasmus+ Networking Forum – TCA “Western Balkans in the Focus: Promoting and Deepening Cooperation in the Erasmus+ Programme”, marking one of our highlight activities of this period! 🌍🤝
Organised by NA DAAD Germany and the National Erasmus+ Office Montenegro, the event brought together more than 120 representatives of higher education institutions from the Western Balkans: Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo — and Central Europe: Germany, Austria, Poland, and Czechia to explore opportunities and strengthen cooperation between the two regions.
✨ The programme kicked off with institutional visits to Montenegrin higher education institutions, creating opportunities to connect, exchange ideas and explore potential partnerships across different fields of study.
The main event officially opened under the moderation of Vanja Drljević (NEO Montenegro) and Beate Körner (NA DAAD Germany), with welcome addresses by Tatjana Ćalasan, State Secretary at the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation of Montenegro; Dr. Ralf Reusch, representing the German Embassy; and Liselotte Isaksson of the EU Delegation to Montenegro.
Through visits, panel discussions, workshops and networking sessions, participants explored Erasmus+ funding opportunities, international mobility, joint programmes, project development, micro-credentials, entrepreneurship and innovation in higher education.
The programme also featured Bologna Hub Peer Support Plus experts, who shared their knowledge on flexible learning pathways and the recognition of qualifications and learning outcomes.
A huge THANK YOU to all our partners and colleagues from the Erasmus+ designated bodies: NA DAAD Germany, NA OeAD Austria, NA DZS Czechia, NA FRSE Poland, NEO Albania, NEO Kosovo and NEO Bosnia and Herzegovina — for their invaluable cooperation and for making this event happen! 💙
Here’s to stronger partnerships and many more Erasmus+ success stories! 🥂✨
