The Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe, the Citizens' Pact for Southeast Europe and EXIT are organizing a debate on the subject of students' mobility between EU and Western Balkans. It will take place during this year's EXIT festival, on the 13 July 2007 in Novi Sad, Serbia.
In addition to the debate, the following interactive video-internet portals will be presented: European Researcher’s Mobility Portal, European Network of Mobility Centers (ERA-MORE), as well as the internet database of Postgraduate Scholarships and Grant Opportunities in Social Sciences, launched by the Stability Pact for Southeast Europe. Other relevant institutions and organizations will be invited to participate in this event through the presentation of their initiatives and activities related with these topics. Students from Serbia (including Kosovo) and Bosnia, participating at the European Rails for Peace Project (The Glocal Forum and Viaggi e Liberta organization) will attend the debate.
One of the messages expected to be be voiced is calling for more emphasis on behalf of the Governments for science and education. TheBalkan countries cannot wait for EU membership to become steadfastly engaged in reforms in these fields. In order to keep up the pace with reform processes in EU member states as much as possible, they have to make science and education a national priority right now. In this way, they will become capable for a more ample use of EU programs, which are already at their disposal.
