TIRANA, January 30/ATA/ Beginning from this academic year, the Municipality of Tirana will grant three scholarships to Albanian students who will be admitted to the College of Europe.
Mayor Erion Veliaj and Rector of the College of Europe Federica Mogherini signed the relevant agreement of financial support for Albanian students.
Veliaj said that the applications are open and that the high interest from 50 different countries puts us in front of an even greater responsibility.
Rector Mogherini said that the Albanian capital offers many features to welcome students from other countries as well.
She added that this support for increasing the capacity of human resources is also an excellent investment in the cities.
The mayor assured that the municipality has taken all the necessary measures to welcome the students who will come to Tirana to attend the College of Europe.
“We will be ready with a temporary campus in the “Student’s Town”. The temporary campus will probably be used for 2-3 years, until it is built the new campus in the area of the former bus terminal”, said Veliaj.
He added that even the mayors of the region have shown a high interest in preparing their staff at the College of Europe in Tirana to adapt to the challenges of integration.
The campus of the College of Europe in Tirana will offer an academic program of European standards to students and professionals from Albania, the Western Balkans region, the European Union, and beyond and will open the cycle of studies starting from this academic year.
It was inaugurated on October 16, the day that the Berlin Process Summit was held in Tirana, where the president of the European Commission, Ursula Von Der Leyen, was also present./p.s./
