At the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Montenegro, the SmartWB team hosted the cluster meeting "Green transition in the Montenegrin higher education system", organised by the National Erasmus+ Office in Montenegro. The event brought together the coordinators / local coordinators of the Erasmus+ CBHE projects oriented towards the green economy, which are currently running at universities in Montenegro. Non-academic partners participating in these projects also attended the meeting.

In the introductory part of the meeting, the attendees were addressed by Marija Jevrić (UoM) and Vanja Drljević, director of the NEO, who emphasized the importance and possible impacts of the Erasmus+ projects focused on this area.
