Joined For Sustainability

The 1FUTURE project aims to to improve regional capacities in implementing Green Deal goals within higher education system. The 1Future project builds up on the needs and the ambition to lead climate action in HEIs in the WB Region. Within the project, HEIs of the region will serve as the gear that connects different stakeholders for building climate resilient communities.

Erasmus + Program

The Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) action supports international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of higher education. It will support a successful green and sustainable global economic recovery in the third countries not associated to the Erasmus+ programme, linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement.

It consists of six faculties and two institutes and offers 174 programs in all three cycles of study, with 779 full-time academic staff and approximately 28,550 students. Thanks to its tradition, high level of qualification, training and certification, the University of Tirana remains the most sought after university in Albania.

Professor Meri Cvetkovska Engages Students at the University of Tuzla on Circular Economy and Energy-Efficient Building Design

Posted on November 10, 2024

As part of the 1FUTURE project’s WP4 curriculum developments, Professor Meri Cvetkovska from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, North Macedonia, delivered a two-day teaching session at the University of Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

During her lecture on Circular Economy in Civil Engineering, Professor Cvetkovska emphasized the need for a shift from traditional linear economic models to circular economy practices, advocating for a more resource-efficient and waste-reducing approach within the construction industry. She discussed best practices for minimizing construction waste and optimizing material reuse, presenting examples of how these strategies contribute to sustainable infrastructure development. Additionally, she highlighted the role of the European Circular Economy Action Plan, explaining how it serves as a driving force for sustainability and climate resilience in the built environment.

On the second day, Professor Cvetkovska led an interactive session on Energy Efficiency and Passive House Design, where she explored the environmental impact of conventional building practices and the need for sustainable alternatives

Through these sessions, students gained practical knowledge on circular economy models, insights into energy-efficient technologies, and a clear roadmap for implementing sustainable engineering solutions in real-world projects.
