Introducing Student Research Mobilities to BH Universities – INSTREAM

International Burch University, together with partner universities University “1 Decembrie 1918” Alba Iulia, University "Džemal Bijedić" in Mostar, University of Bihać, and University of East Sarajevo, is implementing a project “Introducing Student Research Mobilities to BH Universities" (INSTREAM), which contributes to improving the higher education sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina through student scientific research exchange. Within the implementation period, INSTREAM will support over 60 students from all four BiH universities participating in the exchange program with a monthly scholarship of approximately BAM 1,100 / €550, for conducting scientific research at the chosen partner university for one to six months per student, resulting in a total of 180 months of mobilities. The project will thus enable universities to avoid duplicating their own research infrastructure and specialize in specific types of research. INSTREAM is funded by the European Union through its Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance, as part of a broader program to support the higher education sector with three other projects in the areas of strengthening cooperation between universities in their actions towards government institutions, developing scientific research project proposals, and introducing career management skills into the wider university education offering.
