Sammendrag
Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) has expressed a strong willingness to become part
of the EU community. Therefore, profound and substantial reforms of each part
of society are being undertaken. In that context, public administration is
recognizing the need for new knowledge and skills, especially in the area of
technical regulations, standards and commercial law. These reforms also
affect the private sector and agribusiness in particular. To conform to the
EU's higher educational standards, B&H has signed the Bologna and Lisbon
Declarations and a new law, "On Higher Education", is on its way to be
ratified. The implications of these transitional processes for the Faculties
of Agriculture and Economics, University of Sarajevo (FAUS and FEUS,
respectively), are substantial. To fully comply with these requirements the
FAUS and FEUS are interested to share experiences in curricula reform with
more developed institutions, such as the Department of Economics and Resource
Management, Norwegian University of Life Sciences (IqR, UMB). The proposed
institutional collaboration will increase the quality of the masters education
as well, and will strengthen the institutional and human capacity to transfer
urgently needed knowledge and information to the B&H agribusiness sector.These
disciplines will take on increasing importance with the trend toward closer
economic integration regionally and more broadly across the European Union and
beyond. Business marketing, strategy, organization and quantitative economic
analysis will become increasingly important for academic institutions, think
tanks, NGOs, the public sector and the business community. ? Participate
directly in the education and training of graduates in relevant areas of
agribusiness economics and marketing in two, 2-year academic cycles; ?
Instruct 6 full courses and deliver course materials to teaching assistants in
the first academic cycle, and instruct 2 full courses and 4 short courses
during a second academic cycle; ? Contribute to the development of human
capacity by funding six teaching assistants who will work directly with
instructors from IqR during the first 2-year academic cycle; ? Strengthen
and promote sustainable institutional collaboration between partner
institutions through the creation of joint-MS program and/or through joint
instruction of courses relevant to both faculties; ? Transfer of
experiences in supervision and advising of thesis research in applied
economics through the arrangement and participation in a preliminary thesis
defence workshop for the students of the first 2-year academic cycle; and
? Assist in the reform of graduate curriculum and faculty development through
faculty exchanges at workshops and the presentation of findings of an external
evaluator.
