Objective
The global objective of this Call for Proposals is to strengthen research and innovation capacity in support of the socio-economic development in Kosovo. This project will contribute to the upgrading of research capacity in Kosovo by a) achieving a higher degree of internationalisation of research; and b) supporting the development of research-based learning and teaching, including transversal and entrepreneurship training at all levels. Thus, this project will support the research universities and public research institutes of Kosovo in order to strengthen the links between Academia and the private sector. By developing their partnerships with European research institutes in the framework of applied and policy-relevant research, the concept of an ‘’entrepreneurial University’’ in Kosovo will be considerably strengthened.
