Two higher education representatives from Kosovo* (one Ministry of Education representative and one representative from the University of Pristina) participated in the 2nd ETINED plenary meeting, which was held in Strasbourg on 15 and 16 February 2018. The HF action “Strengthen Integrity and Combat Corruption in Higher Education” offers a unique opportunity to participants from Kosovo to participate in and benefit from this platform, which is a pan-European network regrouping representative of relevant stakeholders from all States Parties to the European Cultural Convention with the aim of sharing and promoting good practice in the field of ethics, transparency and integrity in education.

The representatives from Kosovo welcomed the opportunity offered by the action to participate in such an event as it offered a chance to learn about academic integrity challenges in European countries, and also learn from practices applied by different institutions. Moreover, the two participants learned about the work of the ETINED platform in general and on their return promised to share their knowledge within their respective institutions.
