Sarajevo. On Monday, December 7th 2009, a Selection Committee meeting for Implementation of Specific QA Measures at BH Universities was held at WUS Austria Sarajevo Office. Projects for Implementation of Specific QA Measures at BH Universities are being implemented as a second component within WUS Austria’s project “Strategic and Structural Development of Quality Assurance in BH Higher Education 2008-2010”, which is financed by Austrian Development Cooperation and Liechtenstein Government.
Within the second component and on the basis of an open call for proposals, BH universities were given the opportunity to individually apply for grants (in the maximum amount of 45.000,00 EUR) in line with the published criteria and selection procedures, and, hence, implement specific measures adapted to their needs and priorities.
