On 30 September 2021, HERAS Plus conducted the first workshop in the context of expertise support that the Project is offering to the University “Fehmi Agani” in Gjakova (UFAGJ) in the process of functionalizing the Didactic Center for Excellence in Teaching (DCET).

DCET is designed to offer support services in areas of professional and academic development to UFAGJ staff by providing advanced services for a sustainable, transformed and modern system of teaching, research, and leadership.

This workshop marked the first event in the context of a tailor-made activity that aims at fostering mechanisms for sustainable development of academic staff and leadership at UFAGJ. The need for this intervention was identified in the baseline assessment conducted in spring 2021.

The Project is offering three national experts, one for each field, i.e. for teaching, research and leadership. The experts will work closely with the core team of UFAGJ in developing the program, including the actual training modules, and conduct training of trainers (ToT).
