On June 26, 2020, Mr. Adi Kovacevic, Executive Director of WUS Austria and of the HERAS+ team, met Mr. Rame Likaj, Minister of Education and Science (MES).

During the meeting, Mr. Kovacevic introduced the new project  HERAS+ and the project team. HERAS+ is funded by ADA and implemented by a consortium led by WUS Austria. Mr. Aqim Emurli, team leader, gave a detailed presentation on project objectives, expected results, and activities of the project.

In return, Minister Likaj welcomed the introductory notes of the project and ensured full support of the ministry throughout the implementation of the project. The higher education reforms will be among the priorities of the new Minister hence the support of HERAS+ will be highly welcomed in this direction. An intensive cooperation between the project staff and the Ministry was therefore agreed upon.
