Improving Mobility for Better Education Opportunities
04-SER-0201015

Interreg III is a Community Initiative that aims to stimulate interregional co-operation in the EU between 2000-06. The overall aim of the programme Hungary-Serbia & Montenegro is to bring the people, communities and economic actors of the border area closer together in order to establish a sound basis for balanced economic and social development, assuring optimal development opportunities for both countries. Institutions in the region have shown great interest in this call for proposals, which can be proved by the fact that out of 180 proposals applied, only 22 were approved upon the evaluation procedure. The project proposal applied by the Faculty of Economics Subotica is among these.

The Faculty is a modern scientific-educational institution, with a complex organisation structure, with carefully designed  ray of subdivisions and quality technical and human resources. The faculty is, before all else, characterised by openness to new trends in education and science, as well as constant and quick adaptation to alternated conditions of business environment.  Intense tracking and acceptance of relevant changes in national and international environment led to changes in business philosophy, especially in terms of permanent innovation of organisation, curriculum and syllabus, adapting them to European standards and norms, as well as to demands set by adopted reform principles of European declarations – such as Bologna declaration. The basic principle of Bologna process is student and teacher mobility. In line with that, the main problem this project intends to solve is a low mobility of students in cross-border regions of Vojvodina province and Hungary, as well as the insufficient education possibility on their native Hungarian language for students of Hungarian national minority.
