Enhancing the Research and Higher Education (Systems) of Kosovo

HERAS+ is a follow-up from the previous phase of the project called ‘HERAS’ which was implemented under the same donor and same consortium from 2017-2020.

The project contributes to the well-functioning of Higher Education and Research in Kosovo along the principles of the European Research Area (ERA) and the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) with the long-term objective to support the socio-economic development of the country.

The project is funded by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) and co-financed by the Ministry of Education and Science (MES). HERAS+ is implemented by a highly experienced Austrian consortium represented by World University Service Austria (WUS Austria) as the lead partner, and including the Center for Social Innovation (ZSI) and the Austrian Agency for International Mobility Cooperation in Education, Science and Research (OeAD).
