Sustainable development of BLUE economies through higher education and innovation in Western Balkan Countries

Sustainable development of BLUE economies through higher education and innovation in Western Balkan Countries.

Welcome to the official site of ERASMUS+ project BLUEWBC

This project gathers the capacities of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in program countries and partner countries to improve Blue Economies in Montenegro and Albania, through better education in innovation and entrepreneurship. Lead partner of this project is Norwegian University of Science and Technology. A detailed list of project partners can be found at Partners page. The project aims at achieving sustainable development of Blue economies in partner countries through improvements in their education in bachelor and master studies with innovation and entrepreneurship concepts. You can find more on objectives in the related page Objectives of the Project . Maritime activities as well as other sectors related to blue economies such as tourism sector need professional, educated and/or trained human resources with these concepts in addition to the traditional knowledge of their profession. The activities of the project will provide a strategic thinking and flexibility of educational systems in Montenegrin and Albanian HEIs to adjust to new challenges and needs.

The support by partners such as Norwegian, Lithuanian, Croatian Universities contribute in employing I&E since they have a long experience in providing blue economy sectors with human resources. While the involvement of centers and organizations from the entrepreneurial sector will provide a direct contact with stakeholders, insight in policies and relevant trends and strategies. A study on state of the art in I&E in Blue economy education and existing platforms for new businesses in program countries, will serve as bases through the project, to develop courses for students and professionals to address the long term market needs in specific Blue economy fields with I&E activities in Montenegro and Albania. HEIs facilities of countries participating in the project will be improved through establishment of University centers for I&E in partner countries to support the development of strong links between specific Blue economy fields, education and I&E. Intensive trainings of academic staff and students and enhanced networking among HEIs and innovation institutions across the partner countries and EU, will also improve capacities in HEIs partner countries.
