“Over ten years of active participation in Erasmus+ programmes and numerous international projects, the University of Mostar has built a network of partnerships with 50 countries worldwide, across five continents, and with more than 200 higher education institutions. The University participates in 30 Erasmus+ projects and is a member of 19 international university networks, including the EUPeace alliance of nine European universities. This global openness not only enriches the academic community and enables the exchange of knowledge and experience, but also positions the University of Mostar as a respected and recognised institution on the international education scene, with impressive results in the development of student and staff mobility and visibility within global academic circles,” Prof. Bijakšić emphasised.
