Last week, our President Prof. Dr Alaa Garad visited UBT - University for Business and Technology in Prishtina, accompanied by our valued Kosovo partner, Business Consultants Council Kosovo The meeting with Prof. Dr Edmond Hajrizi, Founder and Rector of UBT, CEO, #QualityKosovo, and World Bank Expert in Research and Innovation, was a genuine highlight of our Western Balkans engagement. Under his leadership, UBT has achieved a #6 world ranking in the Fourth Industrialisation and Industry Innovation category, and walking through its Science, Innovation and Technology ecosystem makes that ranking feel entirely deserved. We extend our warmest congratulations to Prof. Hajrizi and the UBT family as Kosovo prepares to host the 67th European Quality Congress this October, under the theme "Shaping Quality for a Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Future." A landmark moment for #Kosovo, and for the quality movement across Europe and beyond. For the Stirling Centre for Strategic Learning and Innovation, this visit opens a meaningful chapter. Our partnership with UBT will focus on staff capacity building, graduate development, and learning-driven programmes that create real and lasting impact, values we share deeply with everything UBT stands for. Grateful to #BCC_Kosovo for making this connection possible and for being such a committed partner in our Kosovo journey. More to come from the Western Balkans. Watch this space. #StirlingCentre #LearningDrivenOrganisation #Kosovo #WesternBalkans #UBT #EOQCongress2026 #CapacityBuilding #HigherEducation #Quality #Innovation

If universities are serious about learning, then their governance systems must also learn. That means listening to feedback, benchmarking beyond the sector, and ensuring that leadership accountability is about capability and contribution, not tenure. It also means moving beyond #CeremonialGovernance, where decisions are routinely approved but rarely challenged.
