SuProM addresses the challenges of sustainable project management in universities across the Western Balkans, particularly in response to recent higher education reforms. These reforms have highlighted a lack of project management skills among faculty, administrative staff, and students.

Currently, higher education authorities in Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina are promoting university internationalization by establishing consortia and implementing joint projects with international partners. However, university staff continue to face difficulties in applying for and managing international projects due to limited project management expertise, a lack of experience in sustainable project management, and weak connections with the labor market.

The project is structured in three main phases:

1. Analysis of project management processes within universities;
2. Engagement of academic stakeholders through project management training programs;
3. Strengthening project management capacities by introducing specialized courses into university programs.
