One of the main activities of the dissemination plan of the project “Higher Education-Enterprise platform for fostering, modernization and sustainable growth in the natural stone industry in the Western Balkans” – BKSTONE, is the holding of national workshops. On June 6, 2022, partners from Bosnia and Herzegovina organized one such event.
In the premises of the University of Sarajevo, in the presence of partners from the University of Mostar, a presentation of significant project results was held.
Knowledge was transferred about the state of the natural stone sector within Bosnia and Herzegovina, its future potentials, as well as the state of education in this field. Special focus is placed on the products developed during the project as well as on the impact they will have on the development of the stone industry. Significant stakeholders such as employers, university management, and ministries were contacted directly during the event.
After the presentation, a panel discussion was held in which, in addition to the members of the BKSTONE project team, the Ministers of Economy and Education, the Rector and Vice-Rector of the University, as well as the President of the Employers’ Association participated. This panel enabled the most important actors to get directly involved in the issues of the project, as well as to contribute with their comments and ideas.
