Throughout the design and construction, the new Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMNS) building has served as an open space for young people to learn, explore and connect their studies with practice.

Through site visits, practical demonstrations, research work and hands-on activities, students have had the opportunity to engage directly with the project and learn more about the design and construction process. These experiences have helped bring learning beyond the classroom and closer to real life practice.

This International Youth Day, under the theme “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations,” we celebrate young people’s curiosity, participation and potential and the importance of creating spaces where they can put knowledge into practice.

At UNOPS, engaging young people is part of how we work, where young voices and perspectives are helping shape practical solutions for a more sustainable and inclusive future.

We are proud to deliver this project with the support of the European Union in Kosovo, Universiteti i Prishtinës and Ministria e Arsimit dhe Shkencës, creating opportunities for youth and investing in education for generations to come.

On the occasion of World Breastfeeding Week, UNOPS is preparing the dedicated breastfeeding and lactation room in the new premises of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Designed as a private, comfortable and welcoming space, the room will support students, staff members and visitors who are breastfeeding, helping them participate fully in academic and professional life.

The inclusion of this space reflects our commitment to creating an accessible and inclusive environment that responds to the diverse needs of the FMNS community.
Small but meaningful facilities such as this can make a real difference in ensuring that mothers feel supported, respected and included.

The project for the construction of the new Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is co-funded by the European Union in Kosovo, Universiteti i Prishtinës and Ministria e Arsimit dhe Shkencës and implemented by UNOPS.

International Day of Women in Engineering!

Behind every infrastructure project are people working across many roles to make it possible.

For the construction of the new Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Pristina, women are contributing across different areas that are essential to the project’s delivery and future use. From strategic leadership and professional engineering input, to procurement support for functionalization, project coordination and community engagement.

On International Women in Engineering Day, UNOPS recognizes these contributions and the important role women play in delivering infrastructure that supports education, sustainability, promotes accessibility and gender equality, and community benefit.

Engineering impact is the result of working together to turn plans into spaces that serve people.

Thanks to EU’s support, more than 2,300 students and 130 staff of the University of Pristina, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMNS) will soon be studying, researching, and working in newly built state of the art facilities.

The construction of these facilities is co-funded by the European Union in Kosovo (EUR 11.9 million), the University of Pristina (EUR 5 million), and the Ministry of Education and Science (EUR 1 million), and represents a significant investment in strengthening higher education in Kosovo.

EU in Kosovo Head of Cooperation, Hubert Perr, Rector of the University of Pristina, Arben Hajrullahu and Acting Minister of Education and Science, Hajrulla Çeku, visited the new Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences building, to review the progress as works enter their final stage.

Hosted by UNOPS – as the implementing partner - the visit included a presentation on the current status of works and a guided tour of the facility, showcasing the modern learning and research spaces that will serve future generations of students and academic staff.

“This EU investment will improve the infrastructure of the University of Pristina, contributing to higher quality standards in education and supporting a greater level of research-based learning and teaching”, said EU’s Perr.

Rector Hajrullahu highlighted European Union’s continued support to higher education in Kosovo, emphasizing that the new facility will significantly improve learning, teaching, and research conditions for students and academic staff.

🌳Protecting trees through relocation!

As part of the ongoing landscape works at the university campus area, existing plants and selected trees are being carefully relocated within the project site.

This strategy minimizes ecological disruption by preserving mature vegetation, ensuring existing plant life remains part of the future surroundings.

The Landscape project for the Technical Faculty zone is part of the overall project for the construction of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, co-funded by the European Union in Kosovo, Universiteti i Prishtinës and Ministria e Arsimit dhe Shkencës and implemented by UNOPS.

On the occasion of the World Day for Safety and Health at Work, UNOPS held a toolbox talk at the construction site to reaffirm our commitment to creating a safe and healthy workplace for everyone.

The session focused on raising awareness, reinforcing safe working practices, and reminding all workers that health and safety remain a daily priority on site. Our shared goal is that every worker returns home safely at the end of each working day.

As part of the event, we proudly presented a UNOPS Goal Zero Certificate to one worker in recognition of their dedication to promoting a strong safety culture and exemplary commitment to workplace safety.

At UNOPS, safety is everyone’s responsibility and every action counts toward achieving Goal Zero.

From field to lab - Second phase of the soil analysis workshop

Students from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMNS) continued the second phase of the soil analysis workshop, this time in the lab.

Guided by Prof. Muhamet Zogaj from the Faculty of Agriculture, they prepared and tested soil samples initially collected from the landscape area of the Technical Faculty Zone, analyzing key characteristics that will inform sustainable planting solutions.

This hands-on experience not only strengthens students' practical skills, but also directly contributes to shaping the outdoor spaces they will soon use and enjoy, as they transition into the new FMNS building.

The Landscape project for the Technical Faculty area is part of the overall project for the construction of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, co-funded by the European Union in Kosovo, Universiteti i Prishtinës and Ministria e Arsimit dhe Shkencës and implemented by UNOPS.
