The event was successfully implemented, which is evident by the number of participants for two days and positive feedback received from the participants. It provided an opportunity for key local stakeholders to meet, learn and discuss key issues pertaining to the accreditation process of study programs in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The discussions were open and honest and serve as a basis for future dialogue on higher education reforms that will bring BiH closer to the European Union and the European Higher Education Area. The event also provided an opportunity for the participants to learn about the latest developments in the accreditation process and the importance of the ENQA and DEQAR membership.

TAM report on the Accreditation with recommendations

The National Impact Study is the result of a thorough analysis and assessment of the CBHE projects undertaken by the BiH Higher Education Reform Experts (HEREs) Team and the National Erasmus+ Office (NEO) in BiH in November/December 2020.

The aim of the study was to analyse the most important project achievements and to highlight challenges occurred during the project implementation of 16 Erasmus+ CBHE projects, selected in 2015 and 2016 involving institutions from BiH.

The objectives of the study were to assess the sustainability and impact of the projects at both individual and institutional level, as well as at the country level for a part of the CBHE projects.

The CBHE projects related to Inclusiveness, Public Health, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), and Climate Change were assessed in order to evaluate the country's capability to respond to the challenges in those areas.

Erasmus Mundus Design Measures are projects which support the design of high-level study programmes at master level. They are jointly delivered by an international partnership of HEIs from different countries worldwide and, where relevant, other educational and/or non-educational partners with specific expertise in the concerned study areas/professional domains.

The EM Design Measures (EMDM) and the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters (EMJM) actions are autonomous funding schemes and their respective calls for proposals are independent.

The main objective of the EM Design Measures is to encourage the development of new, innovative and highly integrated master programmes with the ambition of facilitating the setting-up of new partnerships involving (a) Programme countries (b) institutions, and/or (c) thematic areas that are under-represented in Erasmus Mundus.

Funding opportunities for 2021-2027 and information on how to apply are announced on the European Commission’s Funding & Tender Opportunities portal: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/home
