  • Conducting 8 pilot studies (2 per partner institution from the Western Balkans)
  • Development of "Competence Catalogues" – a tool to clearly analyze the match between competences
  • Dissemination of project philosophy, approach and results to academic, business and political stakeholders
  • Assurance of sustainability of the project outcomes and quality control
