WSB University at COVE Forum 2026 in Graz

Representatives of WSB University –  Denis Spahija and Małgorzata Kasjaniuk – participated in the COVE Forum 2026, held in Graz, Austria, on 7–9 September 2026.

The visit was also an opportunity to take part in the Second Steering Committee Meeting of the DUALKO project – Strengthening of relations between HEIs and Industry Sector through Dual Education in Albania and Kosovo with the focus on ICT. The meeting brought together project partners to review the progress of the project, discuss the implementation of work packages, monitor deliverables and milestones, and agree on priorities and actions for the next six months.

As part of the COVE Forum, participants also took part in discussions and networking activities focused on vocational excellence, cooperation between higher education and industry, and the development of innovative approaches to education and skills.

One of the highlights of the programme was the Vocational Excellence Exhibition, hosted by the Styrian Chamber of Commerce. The exhibition brought together organisations and institutions working on vocational education and training, providing an opportunity to exchange experiences, present projects and explore potential areas for future cooperation.

The event was a valuable opportunity for WSB University to strengthen international cooperation, exchange good practices and develop new professional contacts in the field of education and cooperation with industry.
