Seminar „Course Development and Lifelong Learning“

On February 15th – 16th 2007, WUS Austria successfully held its seminar „Course Development and Lifelong Learning“ at Hotel Grand in Sarajevo. The seminar was officially opened by His Excellency, the Austrian Ambassador to B&H, dr. Werner Almhofer after whom openning speeches were also delivered by dr. Izet Bijelonja, Vice-rector at University of Sarajevo and Mag. Dino Mujkić, WUS Austria Regional Manager in B&H.


The Seminar aimed at bringing lifelong learning into the process of Bologna implementation at Universities in B&H. It addressed the challenges of higher education institutions in providing lifelong learning opportunities for all and in designing targeted professional development programs.

Based on questionnaire results and participants' feedback, the seminar - including the expert presentations and organization process – was evaluatated as highly satisfactory.
