The National Erasmus+ Office in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in cooperation with the Higher Education Reform Experts (HERE) team, successfully organized a two-day Technical Assistance Mission (TAM) focused on the evolving role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in modern higher education.

Held on September 23–24, 2025 in the on-line format, the event brought together local and international stakeholders to explore how AI can enhance—or potentially compromise—the quality, inclusiveness, and sustainability of teaching and learning in higher education.

The mission was led by distinguished EU experts Prof. Dr. Ebba Ossiannilsson, Global Expert in Inclusive, Scalable, and Sustainable Education (Sweden) and Prof. Dr. Mile Dželalija, professor of physics at the Faculty of Science, University of Split(Croatia)

Key topics covered included:

• Leadership through uncertainty
• AI in open education, personalized learning, and career development
• Ethical and sustainable applications of AI in achieving SDG4: Quality Education for All
• AI-driven internationalization and innovation in education and research
• Rethinking teaching and learning in the age of AI

On the second day, attention turned to cutting-edge developments such as Edge AI, on-device learning, and the creation of AI-resilient education systems for both teachers and students. The event concluded with a roundtable discussion on ethical considerations, policy frameworks, and actionable guidelines for integrating AI into higher education across Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This TAM event represents an important step toward aligning BiH’s higher education sector with global digital and educational transformations—promoting innovation, cross-border collaboration, and the responsible use of AI to shape the future of learning.

The VET seminar "Capacity Building for Western Balkan Countries" was held on 3-5 September in Bečići, Montenegro. This event was jointly organized by the national agencies from Serbia and North Macedonia with the aim of informing VET schools from the Western Balkans region about the possibilities of participating in Erasmus+ capacity building projects in the field of VET and Canters of Vocational Excellence, as well as to transfer knowledge and experience among VET schools from the WB region.

On May 21, 2025, an online workshop entitled "Academic Recognition Procedures" was successfully organized by Ms. Dragana Dilber, a HERE team member, nominated on behalf of the Center for Information and Recognition of Qualifications in Higher Education (CIP), in collaboration with the National Erasmus+ Office.

The workshop was conducted in line with the 2025 annual work plan of the HERE team.

The event brought together representatives from higher education institutions actively involved in academic recognition processes, providing a valuable platform for the exchange of knowledge and best practices in the field.
