Therefore, it is important to explore the possibilities how to connect theory and practice - the general education and the specialized training - in the most effective and appropriate manner. In this context, the increase of the efforts regarding more cooperative, spherical and holistic approaches arises the demand for launching interdisciplinarity between many human, natural, social and technical fields. The Theory to Practice as a cognitive, educational and social challenge conference (T2P) aims to find out whether the scientific and social reasons can lead to interdisciplinary approaches? Is cooperation between different academic areas achievable? What could pedagogues and engineers, bio-scientists and philosophers, agronomists, economists and mechanical engineers, natural scientists and writers -and so on- have in common? T2P brings together a variety of experts from the region and beyond to present current research and cases which address the topic of theoretical and practical approaches, particularly as it is relevant to the challenges of the Western Balkan region and beyond. In particular, participants are exloring: 1. Explore interdisciplinarity as nowadays challenge, proposition, and practice in the field of scientific research, education, politics, and society 2. Networking with educational institutions who are active in interdisciplinary areas at the Western Balkans, EU and beyond 3. Developing HEI regional capacity to lead academic events and activities using EU and another best world expertise. Having the considerations mentioned above as a starting point, the T2P consortium (under the Erasmus + Capacity Building Program) proceeds to the implementation of the 1st International Scientific Conference, hoping to highlight particular aspects of the issue and to become a forum for a fruitful scientific, educational and social dialogue for everyone who might be interested. This conference gives visibility to successful sustainability initiatives and promote cooperation for sustainable education development in the region.

  • The Manual for External Evaluation of Higher Education Institutions
    THE MANUAL FOR EXTERNAL EVALUATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS February 2021 FOREWORD The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) has assessed Kosovo Accreditation Agency, which is the main formal authority for quality assurance of Higher Education Institutions in Kosovo, as an exemplary institution, which has reached significant progress on fitting the Higher Education of the country into the European frameworks. Since then, the KAA is proud to have been adhered to the strict procedure of internal and external quality assurance, based on the Bologna action lines and the Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG), which is adopted by the Ministers responsible for HE in the European Higher Education Area, in May 2015. To date, Kosovo and the KAA have marked significant progress in quality assurance by adopting the National Qualification Framework, Criteria and Standards for Accreditation of HEIs, recognition, and promotion of the learning outcomes and shifting of the paradigm of learning and teaching process towards student-centred instead of teacher/professor-centred. Moreover, the international partners consider the work of the KAA as an example of good practice in the field of Higher Education in Kosovo, and this is not a privilege but a commitment to further development and results. In this spirit, among many legal and administrative procedures, standards, and manuals, the KAA has developed this handbook to provide practical guidance to the external evaluation Team members assigned to evaluate HEIs on behalf of the Agency. The KAA believes that providing clear guides and sharing of experience benefits the actions for improvement of the HEIs’ external evaluation process, improvement of all the institutional stakeholders involved in the process, and advancement of the Quality Assurance system in adherence with the European standards.
