We had the pleasure of hosting Mr. Aleksandar Bogojevski, Head of Unit for IPA Funds and Foreign Assistance at the Ministry of Digital Transformation, for an insightful session dedicated to “Digital Europe.” This important engagement provided our academic community with a valuable opportunity to explore current developments and strategic directions in digital transformation within higher education. By organizing such sessions, we continue to strengthen our institutional vision of staying at the forefront of innovation and aligning our academic and research activities with evolving European priorities.

During the presentation, we gained in-depth perspectives on the wide range of opportunities available for International Balkan University to actively participate in digital transformation initiatives. The session highlighted the potential for establishing international consortia, developing joint degree programs, and engaging in collaborative project applications across institutions. In addition, we explored various funding mechanisms and avenues for inter-institutional cooperation, all of which are essential for enhancing our academic offerings and expanding our research capacity in line with global standards.

This engagement reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering innovation, internationalization, and academic excellence through meaningful collaboration with key institutional stakeholders. By connecting our students, academic staff, and administrative units with national and international initiatives, we continue to build a forward-looking academic environment that embraces digital transformation and interdisciplinary cooperation. We remain dedicated to pursuing new partnerships and projects that will further strengthen our role as a dynamic and internationally connected university.
