HERAS Plus - Applied Science Study Visit
Graz/Vienna. A group of seven participants - consisting of students, teaching staff and management of public universities in Kosovo - took part in a study visit on applied science in Graz and Vienna from June 19-21, 2023. All participants were coordinators of small projects on applied science, funded through the HERAS Plus project. The study visit facilitated direct contacts and networking opportunities between participants from Kosovo and Austrian institutions (universities, industry, start-ups) with a view to integrate knowledge, experience and lessons learned from Austrian partners as feasible. During the visit current practices, experiences, opportunities and challenges in implementing an applied study approach were presented. Furthermore, the visit provided a platform for discussing opportunities, challenges, and entry points for strengthening an applied study approach in Kosovo and enhancing cooperation between university and industry. Participants visited the following institutions: Vienna University of Economics and Business, University of Applied Science, FH Joanneum Graz, University of Graz (ETC – European Training Center for Human Rights) and Center for Social Innovation in Vienna.
