On 19–20 January 2026, SHER Programme facilitated a two-day workshop in support of the University of Applied Sciences in Ferizaj (UASF) as part of the process of reviewing and revising two key institutional regulations: the Regulation on scientific research, subsidisation of research, scientific research and applied work and projects, and the Regulation on publications.

During the workshop, the SHER expert provided an overview of both regulations and outlined the key areas requiring focused attention during the revision process. Participants were then divided into working groups and engaged in structured discussions to review specific sections of the regulations from different perspectives. This group work enabled participants to assess the clarity, relevance, and practical applicability of the provisions, while also identifying areas for improvement and alignment with institutional needs and good practices.

The workshop concluded with a plenary session in which the working groups presented their key observations and preliminary recommendations. These inputs will support UASF working group as it moves forward with revising and finalizing the regulations, with the aim of strengthening the institutional framework for scientific research, applied work, and academic publishing. SHER will continue to provide expert support throughout the process of finalizing the proposed amendments.
