A delegation from Western Balkans University paid an official visit to UniCamillus International Medical University in Rome, Italy, as part of the university’s broader commitment to strengthening international partnerships and expanding cooperation in higher education and medical sciences.

Dr. Erlis Çela, Vice Rector for Internationalization, Industry Relations and Communication, Dr. Brunilda Zllami, Head of the Department of Medicine, and Dr. Irma Gjana, Dean of Students.
During the visit, the WBU representatives were warmly welcomed by the Rector of UniCamillus, Gianni Profita, together with members of the university’s leadership team. The meeting provided an opportunity for both institutions to discuss shared priorities and explore ways to deepen academic and institutional cooperation.
An important moment of the visit was the signing of a cooperation agreement between the two universities. The agreement lays the foundation for future collaboration in several areas, including student exchange and transfer opportunities, joint research initiatives, academic activities, and projects focused on the professional development of academic staff.
