The
Balkan Universities Network or
BUN in its present form was created after the end of the
SFR Yugoslavia, the founding of new universities, and the implementation of the
Bologna Process in Balkan Universities. The aim of the network is the exchange of know how and experience in research and education, mutual acceptance of certificates, encouragement of professors and students for more mobility between the universities and the use of support programs for student exchange. Besides bilateral meetings, conferences rotating between the member universities take place. The 2010 conference was organized by the
Trakya University in
Edirne in May 2010.
