IO supports and promotes the existing international networks and partnerships cultivated by the various institutes and faculties and works on expanding the existing network. The office is overall responsible for the ongoing internationalization process at SEBS. The office works closely together with the School and other units to develop international contacts, programs and projects.
It stimulates the development of internationalization in all aspects of the SEBS’s activities (research, learning, curriculum development, staff and student recruitment) and enhances the international dimension of SEBS. IO is the first port of call for international inquiries. The goal is to become the center of all sorts of international activities at the school and Bosnia and Herzegovina in general.
While encouraging internationalization, every effort is made to ensure that agreements contribute towards SEBS mission, providing direct benefit to the Faculty staff and/or students.
IO brings SEBS to the world and the world to the SEBS!
