The two-day final conference of the ERASMUS+ Project “Development of Short Cycles and Part-time Studies in Higher Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina” (PARTISH) began today at the Rectorate of the University of Sarajevo. The aim of the project was to improve the flexibility and inclusiveness of higher education through the development of programs that enable retraining and additional training, and adaptation to the needs of the labor market.

 

The conference was opened with welcoming speeches by Prof. Dr. Tarik Zaimović, University of Sarajevo Rector and Prof. Dr. Dženana Husremović, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs and Project Coordinator on behalf of the University of Sarajevo.

 

During the duration of the project, from 2021 to 2024, the focus was on creating programs that enable the acquisition of specialized and practical skills, empowering students and professionals for faster entry or advancement in a dynamic professional environment. Short cycles, as one of the key results of this project, provide an opportunity for faster adaptation to market needs, while at the same time increasing accessibility to education for the wider population. They enable retraining and additional training, skills improvement and greater inclusiveness in the education system.

 

On the first day of the conference, universities from Bosnia and Herzegovina participating in the project presented their teams, achieved results, advantages for universities, as well as the results of pilot projects. Also, representatives of the Academia Maribori College of Professional Studies of the University of Novi Sad shared their experiences, and representatives of ministries and the Center for Information and Recognition of Qualifications in Higher Education (CIP) presented their contributions.
