On 6 October, the "EU Programmes Day" was organised by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a focus on exploring the opportunities available to BiH through participation in European Union programmes.
The event brought together over 600 participants from government institutions, academia, culture, healthcare, civil society, and the business sector to discuss strengthening cooperation, sharing experiences, and promoting successful EU-funded projects.
Minister Dubravka Bošnjak highlighted the importance of such events in building institutional capacity and enhancing the country’s ability to access EU funds. She noted key programmes such as EU4Health, Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, Creative Europe, and others — with a combined budget exceeding €130 billion — as significant opportunities for BiH.
Two expert panels provided practical guidance on developing successful project proposals, avoiding common pitfalls, and fostering international collaboration.
While Bosnia and Herzegovina is making steady progress in utilising EU funding, there remains considerable potential for improvement. The Ministry announced that similar events will continue, aiming to ensure broader engagement and more effective use of the opportunities offered by EU programmes.

Alongside the SPHERE 2025 Annual Conference that took place on 1–2 October 2025 in Bucharest, Romania, The Bologna Process Symposium was held and bring together HERE and NEO representatives, as well as members of the Bologna Follow-Up Group (BFUG) and its working structures.
The symposium explored the mission, methods, and evolving priorities of the Bologna Process, with a focus on sharing experiences and promoting peer learning around higher education reform. Discussions highlighted the impact of Bologna-related policies on institutions and individuals, with input from HERE countries and reflections on outcomes from national events held earlier in the year.
As a key initiative for shaping the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), the Bologna Process remains central to SPHERE’s activities. With many HERE countries either members of or aligned with the Process, the symposium also underscored its broader relevance to systems facing similar reform challenges.
This event forms part of a broader SPHERE 2022–2025 initiative, in which each HERE country hosts a Bologna-related national or regional event feeding into shared learning and policy development.

Held on September 23–24, 2025 in the on-line format, the event brought together local and international stakeholders to explore how AI can enhance—or potentially compromise—the quality, inclusiveness, and sustainability of teaching and learning in higher education.
The mission was led by distinguished EU experts Prof. Dr. Ebba Ossiannilsson, Global Expert in Inclusive, Scalable, and Sustainable Education (Sweden) and Prof. Dr. Mile Dželalija, professor of physics at the Faculty of Science, University of Split(Croatia)
Key topics covered included:
- Leadership through uncertainty
- AI in open education, personalized learning, and career development
- Ethical and sustainable applications of AI in achieving SDG4: Quality Education for All
- AI-driven internationalization and innovation in education and research
- Rethinking teaching and learning in the age of AI
On the second day, attention turned to cutting-edge developments such as Edge AI, on-device learning, and the creation of AI-resilient education systems for both teachers and students. The event concluded with a roundtable discussion on ethical considerations, policy frameworks, and actionable guidelines for integrating AI into higher education across Bosnia and Herzegovina.
This TAM event represents an important step toward aligning BiH’s higher education sector with global digital and educational transformations—promoting innovation, cross-border collaboration, and the responsible use of AI to shape the future of learning.
