Visit to the University of Montenegro as part of the Erasmus+ networking meeting

André Epp participated in the international Erasmus+ networking meeting “Western Balkans in the Focus: Promoting and Deepening Cooperations in the Erasmus+ Program” at the University of Montenegro from October 12–15, 2026.

The event, organized by the DAAD’s National Agency for Erasmus+ Higher Education Cooperation in collaboration with the National Erasmus+ Office in Montenegro, brought together representatives from universities and educational institutions in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, and the Western Balkan countries.

André Epp enriched the discussion with a presentation on biography-oriented approaches in higher education and teaching. The focus was on the potential of biographical approaches for shaping professional development processes for aspiring educators, as well as for further developing international teaching collaborations. In addition, he discussed with the participants ways to sustainably expand European higher education partnerships within the framework of the Erasmus+ program and to develop shared perspectives for cross-border cooperation.
