During the visit, the LBTU delegation had the opportunity to meet with the team from the Max van der Stoel Institute (MVDSI), including its Director, Prof. Dr Veli Kreci. The meeting provided a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss research areas of common interest. The delegation also met with Prof. Dr Veland Ramadani, Pro-Rector for Research and Entrepreneurship, and Prof. Dr Florije Ismaili, Advisor for Academic Planning and Digitalisation. These discussions focused on opportunities for research collaboration, as well as the potential development of double degree programmes between the two institutions.

As part of their stay at SEEU, the LBTU team also visited several university facilities, including the SEEU Library, where they met with its Director, Elmedina Abdullahi, as well as the STEM Lab and the VR Lab. The visit provided a valuable opportunity to showcase SEEU’s academic and research environment and to further explore areas for future cooperation. We sincerely thank our colleagues from LBTU for their visit and look forward to future opportunities to work together.

As partners in the ChallengeEU university alliance, SEEU and LBTU continue to strengthen their cooperation through academic exchange and ongoing discussions on future collaboration.
