On 11 November 2026, Western Balkans University hosted the second and final day of the M3DTech International Forum, dedicated to the theme “Needs Assessment Results of Kosovo and Albanian HEIs.”
As the lead beneficiary of Work Package 2 (WP2) of the M3DTech project, Western Balkans University marked the completion of its WP2 deliverables. During the forum, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ana Uka and Mirsije Kullau, representing WBU, presented the key findings and implications of the needs assessment conducted across higher education institutions in Kosovo and Albania.
The programme continued with the session “From Evidence to Action,” bringing together project partners to discuss how the identified needs could be translated into practical solutions and future activities within the M3DTech project.
In the afternoon, an interactive dialogue brought together representatives from Quality Assurance Offices, deaneries, academic staff, and students to discuss priorities for the next phase of the project, with a focus on the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies into medical and health education.
The forum concluded with “The Road Ahead,” a session dedicated to presenting the main recommendations, summarising the discussions, and outlining the next steps for the M3DTech project.
Through this two-day international forum, Western Balkans University reinforced its commitment to academic collaboration, innovative teaching practices, and the advancement of technology-enhanced education, contributing to the development of VR-based learning in higher education institutions across the Western Balkans.
