The programme “Sustainable Higher Education and Research in Kosovo (SHER)” aims at contributing to a sustainable, evidence-based, needs-oriented and gender-responsive Higher Education and Research sector in Kosovo that is in line with the principles of European Higher Education Area (EHEA), European Research Area (ERA) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

  • SHER contributes to a strengthened and more sustainable policy and legal framework for HE that facilitates inclusive and equitable quality education, fosters research & innovation, internationalisation and employability, and promotes gender equality and the 3rd mission of universities.

  • SHER enhances good governance and provision of inclusive and equitable quality education at HEIs that are labour-market relevant, promotes research, innovation and internationalization, and fosters gender equality and the 3rd mission of universities.
