The University of Banja Luka (UNIBL) and the Białystok University of Technology (BUT), Poland, are actively collaborating for the second consecutive year as part of the Erasmus+ project "Across - European University for Cross-Border Knowledge Sharing." During the winter semester of the 2025/26 academic year, two professors from Banja Luka, serving as visiting professors and course coordinators, delivered lectures and conducted exercises in a hybrid format for Erasmus students at BUT from October 2025 until the end of January 2026.
From January 19 to 23, 2026, at the Faculty of Engineering Management in Białystok, participants experienced dynamic final sessions: Prof. Saša Petković, PhD, guided students through practical Project Management scenarios, while Prof. Jelena Poljašević, PhD, provided insights into International Taxation and Accounting and Financial Management.
During this working week, professors from the UNIBL Faculty of Economics actively engaged in a series of interactive meetings with BUT professors, researchers, and students as part of the Across activities. These meetings aimed to lay the foundation for future staff and student exchanges, promote collaborative scientific research, and create opportunities for impactful joint activities, such as virtual student job fairs, guest lectures, and the development of joint study programs. These efforts are expected to strengthen cross-border cooperation and broaden academic and professional opportunities for participants.
Our professors express heartfelt gratitude to Prof. Mirosław Świercz, PhD, Pro-rector for Development; Joanna Szydło, PhD; Wioletta Czemiel-Grzybowska, PhD; Anna Matwiejczyk, MA; and Prof. Zbigniew Korzeb, PhD, for their warm hospitality and professional cooperation, which enriched their stay in Poland.
The Across - European University for Cross-Border Knowledge Sharing project is funded by the European Union (Erasmus+).
