Teaching methods
The course consists of lectures emphasizing the application level rather than the theoretical-methodological issue. Emphasis is placed on a relatively detailed view of both instruments, objectives, periodization and allocation of cross-border cooperation programs, as well as on the analysis of implemented cross-border cooperation projects. The culmination of the course is the processing of the project itself, in accordance with the valid methodology of the respective operational program.
Assessment methods
Successful completion of the course is conditional on verification of acquired knowledge, based on the elaboration and defense of the own project of cross-border cooperation.
