One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of the "Collection of the best practices for INTERADIS project partners in adaptation and integration of international students” which provides an overview of the project’s objectives, major achievements, and transformations realized over the four-year span.

Another milestone was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding among consortium members, affirming their commitment to future collaboration. In light of the success of the INTERADIS Project, partners expressed mutual interest in continuing and expanding cooperation in training, research, and capacity building to foster internationalization, raise educational standards, and support innovation within higher education institutions.
