Companies that are involved in the consortium as associated partners are interested in establishing those centres for short study programs in order to use results for further exploitation on the wider academic and non-academic society.
This is the reason why are chosen the most suitable non-academic partners to be in the consortium. During round tables and Interim and Final conference the wider group of stakeholders and decision makers are going to be invited. They will be informed about aims and goals of the project, achieved results and they will be involved in the discussion about results, about further activities to give suggestions, recommendations, because their needs are guidelines for sustainability of the project.
Through signing agreements of cooperation, based on each economy partner needs, the sustainability of each Centre is going to be provided and the benefits from opening new ones on other HEIs in the WB countries will benefit whole society.
During the project life two Round tables are set, one in B&H and one in Kosovo, and also one Interim conference (Kosovo) and one Final conference (B&H) in order to provide attention and visibility of the project. Also, Monograph of the project will be delivered on the Final event to all stakeholders in order to provide project sustainability.
The role of non-academic partners is here crucial. Association of rectors of private universities/universities will provide creation of instruments for the development of digitization systems in higher education, gather wider academic staff and experts and provide fast exchange of experiences from the project in the area of the Western Balkans. It will also continuously inform the public and disseminate project results. They are, probably, going to be the lead factor for developing short study programs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, faster evolving micro-credentials and life-long learning concept at WB countries.
