After #two years of collaboration, innovation, and shared commitment, the Erasmus+ CBHE project EDUFAIR – “Advancing Quality Higher Education in the Western Balkans through Facilitating AI Integration in Teaching, Learning and Research” has successfully reached its conclusion.

As a proud project partner, CCIS Albania has contributed to this important initiative aimed at strengthening higher education institutions in Albania and Kosovo through the responsible, ethical, and effective integration of Artificial Intelligence. Among the project’s key achievements:

* Strengthened institutional capacities for AI integration in higher education.
* Development and formal adoption of AI strategies, regulations, and ethical guidelines across five partner higher education institutions.
* Increased awareness of responsible AI use, academic integrity, and data protection.
* Enhanced regional cooperation and knowledge exchange among academic institutions and project partners.

Throughout the project, #CCIS Albania contributed to the evaluation of project progress, results, and impact, supporting the achievement of its objectives and long-term sustainability. We extend our sincere appreciation to the project coordinator, Tirana College of Technology, all partner institutions, and the dedicated teams whose collaboration made these achievements possible.

While EDUFAIR has come to an end, its impact continues. The policies, knowledge, and institutional capacities developed through this initiative provide a strong foundation for a more innovative, inclusive, and responsible higher education system in the Western Balkans.

The EDUFAIR project (Grant Agreement No. 101175331) was co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ Programme.
