TCA Description
Themes and goals:
This seminar would like to give interested stakeholders from European higher education institutions the chance to explore new ways, new topics and new forms of cooperation with Southeastern European countries.
First, the focus will lie on creating an enhanced understanding of potential problems, which impeded the fostering of international and intra-regional partnerships so far.
Second, networking will be on the agenda to help participants to explore marketing opportunities for the 'recruitment' of Southeast European partners and to discern certain potential fields of cooperation for the establishment of new forms of partnerships and projects.
