Objetives | Promotion of international cooperation, creation of successful and sustainable education systems gives the possibility to offer competitive and internationally recognized opportunities for learning and research to a diverse population of students.
During the project lifetime, Montenegrin HEIs will define models to build partnerships with other educational institutions in order to enhance their international competitiveness and for capacity building for various aspects of internationalization. Increasing international competitiveness and international standing, visibility and comparability within European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and European Research Area (ERA) are the main driving forces for all Montenegrin HEIs. Strategy of the Development of Higher Education (2016–2020) in Montenegro states stronger international dimension of Montenegrin HEIs, which will enable integration into EHEA. Therefore, the IESP project aims to enhance international competitiveness of Montenegrin HEIs, by providing the best model for strengthening capacities for various aspects of internationalization. |
