“Only through collaboration we will be able to tackle the challenges of the future. Collaboration in an interdisciplinary team and in an international context will be the motivation for our future cooperation. It will also be a necessity if we really want to achieve good results. At our partner institution in Ferizaj we have seen an exciting development in the field of teaching and research in the last years. In the years to come, this is the basement for the development and innovation in the area of Ferizaj and the whole Kosovo. Now it is time to think big and show the world what is possible.”

“Our collaboration with the University of Applied Sciences Ferizaj has been lasting for more than a decade now, and the tasks we solve together are of increasing importance. The success of this collaboration is the result of respect and willingness to help each other and the openness on both sides to learn from each other. I am thankful to Rector Bajraktari and his team for the inspiration, motivation and tasks we have shared and I look forward to tackling new challenges and doing projects also in the future. It is a pleasure and honor for me to be part of this success story.”

“Regular visits at USAF in Ferizaj means to me more than sharing my experience in field of management and technology with the great team of professors and students. It is like “coming home” and this is the minimum I can do for the students in Kosovo, my country of origin. I am really thankful to the management of USAF giving to me this opportunity to be part of this high motivated team.”
