International Balkan University (IBU) hosted the kickoff meeting, marking the official launch of the three-year EU-funded project Skills Enrichment for Adaptive Leadership in the New Reality (SEAL-NR).

Led by Prof. Dr. Snezana Bilic, the event brought together project partners to coordinate efforts and establish a framework for successful implementation. The meeting set the stage for a dynamic and fruitful collaboration, ensuring that SEAL-NR achieves its ambitious objectives.
