  1. Horizont Twinning project H2020-MSCA-ITN-2020, Advancing cooperation on the Foundations of Law (аcronym: ALF), COORDINATOR Faculty of Law University of Belgrade, 2022-2025.
    • ALF aims to help the Faculty of Law of the University of Belgrade – BGL (a Widening country institution) to become a widely known and soughtafter top-class European research institution, by raising its academic research profile and by strengthening its research management and administrative capabilities. To this end, ALF will provide a thorough and comprehensive three-year transfer of academic and administrative foundational knowledge from three leading institutions at EU level: The University of Genoa, the University of Surrey, and the Instituto de Ciencias Juridico Politicas da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Lisbon.
  2. Horizont Europa project titled Building Gender Equality through gender budgeting for Institutional Transformation, PARTNER Faculty of Law University of Belgrade, 2022-2025.
    • Building Gender+ Equality Through Gender+ Budgeting For Institutional Transformation (Budget-It) is a three-year project designed to use gender+ budgeting to transform institutions to advance inclusive gender+ equality and enhance the reputation, inclusiveness, and research excellence of the widening countries of Bosnia, Serbia and Turkey assisted by leading university counterparts in Italy and Spain. Budget-It will use of gender+ budgeting as a tool to move past the current stagnation surrounding gender+ equality. GEPs are often implemented without the required commitment of resources and the allocation of resources often remaining unexamined with institutional budgets reinforcing gender+ inequalities including inequities among women. The integration of gender+ budgeting into GEPs will ensure resources are distributed in an equitable and intersectional way. Partners will identify at least three intersections so that GEPs are both tailored and inclusive. By the end of the project, partner institutions will have produced an integrated, inclusive gender + equality plan and gender+ budget (GEP-GB). The consortium, five universities and four municipalities, will ensure the transfer of theory to practice and for knowledge to move beyond the walls of academia to create greater institutional and societal transformation. Municipalities, through the provision of services, impact the lives of many thousands and as such provides the opportunity to create a wider space in the public sphere for gender+ equality. All three of the project’s widening country partners struggle with rising tides of anti-gender+ and ethno-religious nationalism. The slow mainstreaming of these anti-gender+ and nationalist discourses pose a threat to gains made towards equality and Budget-It represents an opportunity to reinforce and support institutionalisation and implementation of intersectional gender+ equality measures including a gender+ budget to ensure equity in the use of resources.
  3. Erasmus+, ERASMUS-EDU-2023-EMJM-DESIGN project 101128011-A joint master’s program in law and gender, intersectionality and diversity (acronym LAWGID)
    • It makes a significant educational intribution to the European Commission’s priority “A new push for European democracy” which includes LGBTIQ equality, ending gender-based violence, rights of the child, rights of persons with disabilities and the rule of law. The proposed joint master’s includes all these areas. The composition of the parties involved is unique, since the three universities represent the north, south and east of Europe, with different traditions and cultures. The program does not only include areas of law that obviously relate to gender, intersectionality and diversity, such as criminal law, labor law and human rights. Instead, it also includes traditional areas of law which are less explored and not so often subject to intersectional studies, such as tax law, contract law and company law. The LAWGID project thus fills an important gap in Europe’s higher educations in order to tackle. Belgrade University, Lumsa University and Orebro University have together with Saarland University and Cadiz University in the years of 2019-2022 prepared for accreditation for Master Degrees in Law and Gender. Now, the three former universities take the next step towards a joint master’s program, also including intersectionality and diversity. In this project, three workshops will be arranged in order to prepare for the joint master’s, and decide upon admission criteria, application and selection procedures, teaching and training activities, promotion and awareness-rising strategy, a joint degree policy as well as partnership and student agreements. The workshops will be held at each university, in order to be able to include persons from th international offices, the legal offices, the examination offices and the universities’ managements. To each workshop a guest with experience in setting up a joint master’s will be invited to share his/her experience.
