Abstract
The general objective of the project is to establish/enhance and support quality assurance structures and mechanisms for effective management and operation through teaching and learning processes in the Western Balkan region, including deeper integration into European Higher Education Areas (EHEA). As emphasized in the Erasmus+ program guide, high quality and inclusive education and training of young people and participants of all ages not only supports citizens in the personal and professional development, but ultimately equips them with qualifications and skills needed for meaningful participation in a democratic society, through intercultural understanding and successful transition in the open labour market. The QA-SURE project is based on the General Objective of the Erasmus+ program which is “To support, through lifelong learning, the educational, professional and personal development of people in education, training, youth and sport, in Europe and beyond, thereby contributing to sustainable growth, quality jobs and social cohesion, to driving innovation, and to strengthening European identity and active citizenship”, and specifically to the Specific Objective 1: “Promote learning mobility of individuals and groups, as well as cooperation, quality, inclusion and equity, excellence, creativity and innovation at the level of organisations and policies in the field of education and training”. The QA-SURE project is based on the KA2: Cooperation among organizations and institutions: Capacity Building of Higher Education (CBHE), which supports international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organizations active in the field of higher education for their relevance, quality, modernisation and responsiveness for a socio-economic recovery, growth and prosperity and reacting to economic globalisation. This project also falls under the Strand I category, which is designed to attract less experienced HEIs and small-scale actors to the CBHE action to facilitate access to newcomer organisations. In the consortium, the leader is a new established university which has started its academic activity on October 2022. In addition, Luarasi University in Albania and University Isa Boletini Mitrovica in Kosovo are considered as less experienced ones as they do not have a high number of previous projects (the former with 1 and the latter with 5). Through this project, partnerships that will develop cooperation ideas as well as facilitate the know-how, experience and good practices, by fostering access to capacity building opportunities, will be developed. The proposed activities and QA-SURE project results aim at enhancing the management and administrative capacity of the targeted HEIs in WB through establishing new or enhancing existing quality assurance units and processes/strategy within partner institutions, which are crucial added values for the targeted beneficiaries such as academic staff, students and administrative staff. The project is expected to contribute to the overarching priorities of the European Commission and Erasmus+ Programme not only for the Western Balkans University, as a newcomer higher education institution, but also for regional and European partner institutions, with some or more experience on quality assurance practice. It is expected to improve the quality/quality assurance of higher education partner institutions and enhance its relevance for the global and European labour market and society, especially for the Western Balkans countries (Albania, Kosovo) which are expected to join the EU in the near future.
