The main objectives of this three-years regional project are to update the sport science curricula in three Balkan HE Institutions: the University of Prishtina (Kosovo), the State University of Tetovo (Fyrom) and the Academy of Physical Education and Sport in Tirana (Albania); to harmonize the structure, contents and teaching methodology, leading to the mutual recognition of degrees between countries; to bring the Faculties closer to their EU counterparts, and to strengthen the background of graduates and postgraduates to give them better chances to meet job-market requirements as well as to contribute to scientific research and the education of younger generations. The project is expected to improve teaching abilities and outcomes, through teachers training and the introduction of modern contents and methodologies, and to bridge the gap between graduate and postgraduate skills and market needs, thereby promoting occupability. It is also expected to foster scientific mentality and research, establishing research-oriented postgraduate programs and preparing for the future implementation of PhD programs; to promote mobility and scientific cooperation, and to more generally help increase understanding and cooperation with the EU scientific community, culture and society, thus preparing the PC countries participation in the Lifelong Learning Programme.
