a valuable programme for staff development.)
A three-year major collaboration project with France is currently
in effect. This project is managed by the on–site full time
coordinator, Michel Crepon. The project has it’s origins in
preliminary contacts between SEEU and French Universities of Nantes,
Anges and Rennes 1, and contributes towards the capacity building
by reinforcing pedagogy, initiate and develop a regular cooperation
with European Universities; set up a regular trend of visiting professors
from the universities of Nantes, Angres and Rennes 1; provide new
editions of working pedagogic materials which are translated into
Albanian and Macedonian Languages.
In addition, the University has benefited from ad hoc collaborations
with academic staff from Germany, Sweden, UK, Albania and Denmark,
and from outside Europe, with staff from Australia, the United States
and Canada.
