From November 5 to 7, 2024, a three-day study visit took place in Ljubljana as part of the Erasmus+ project "Strengthening Capacities and Mechanisms for Enhancement of Quality Assurance System in Higher Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina" (SMEQA). The event was organized by University of Ljubljana and Republic of Slovenia’s National Agency for Quality in Higher Education (NAKVIS).
The visit’s aim was to strengthen capacities and share good practices in the area of external quality assurance and higher education accreditation. The program included expert presentations on Slovenian higher education and quality assurance systems, focused on legislation and procedures in accordance with ESG standards. Successful initiatives for improving quality, such as projects INOVUP and EUROGRADUATE, were presented as examples.
On the visit’s final day, there was the project’s consortium meeting, during which key guidelines for continuation of project activities in the upcoming period were agreed upon, including a plan for disseminating results and implementing activities over the next 12 months.
Representatives from University of Split participating in the study visit were Prof. Jadranka Garmaz Ph.D. and Doris Žuro, M.A. in Social Work from the Faculty of Catholic Theology, Split.
