News archive - Book announcement: ‘From fragmentation to cooperation: tertiary education, research, and development in South Eastern Europe’

The new World Bank publication ‘From fragmentation to cooperation: tertiary education, research, and development in South Eastern Europe’ has been posted for download in the documents section.

The working paper, published in June 2008, examines the challenges that Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia face in order to have a labour force with a significant pool of people with tertiary education qualification. These people will be needed to meet increasing demand for highly-skilled labour to support economic growth.
