EUPeace Opportunities for Collaboration

Participants were introduced to opportunities for developing joint study programmes within the EUPeace Alliance in which the University of Mostar is a partner. The programme enabled academic and administrative staff to exchange experiences, discuss good practices, and explore future areas of collaboration between partner institutions.

Strengthening International Partnerships

The Mobility Week also contributed to strengthening existing partnerships and creating new opportunities for cooperation in higher education. By bringing together representatives from across Europe, the event supported the international visibility of both the University of Mostar and the EUPeace Alliance while encouraging further collaboration in teaching, learning, and mobility initiatives.
