We marked the week with the signing of a cooperation contract between International Balkan University, represented by our Rector, Prof. Lutfi Sunar, and the director of Public Hospital “8th of September”, Prof. Dr. Sinisa Stojanoski. The signing, carried out together with representatives from our Faculty of Dental Medicine, reflects a shared commitment to education, clinical excellence, and public service, and represents a meaningful step in strengthening cooperation between higher education and public healthcare institutions.

Through this collaboration, we are opening new pathways for our students to gain real-world clinical experience in a professional healthcare environment. The agreement supports stronger academic–clinical integration by connecting theoretical learning with hands-on practice, enabling students to develop professional competencies, clinical confidence, and ethical responsibility under the guidance of experienced healthcare professionals. This partnership also reinforces our mission to provide applied, high-quality education that responds to the evolving needs of the healthcare sector.

Together with Public Hospital “8th of September,” we are investing in knowledge, professionalism, and improved healthcare outcomes for the wider community. This cooperation stands as a forward-looking initiative that aligns with our institutional values of innovation, community engagement, and student-centered development, while laying a solid foundation for future joint activities that will continue to benefit education, clinical practice, and society as a whole.
