RIT Kosovo Signs Memorandum of Understanding with the Kosovo Central Election Commission
RIT Kosovo (A.U.K) proudly announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Kosovo Central Election Commission (CEC), marking the beginning of a meaningful collaboration in content development for the upcoming municipal elections.
This partnership represents more than an institutional agreement—it is a bridge between higher education and democratic development in Kosovo. Through this initiative, RIT Kosovo students will have the unique opportunity to directly contribute to strengthening electoral processes, gaining practical experience while supporting transparency, civic engagement, and good governance.
“Our students will not only apply the skills they are learning in the classroom but will also become active participants in shaping the democratic future of Kosovo,” said Michael E. Hess, Interim President. “This collaboration reflects RIT Kosovo’s mission to turn learning into real-world impact.”
Students from concentrations such as Public Policy, International Relations, Media and Communications, and Management will be actively engaged in developing content that informs, educates, and promotes active citizenship during the electoral process. Their involvement highlights the interdisciplinary nature of RIT Kosovo’s programs and the institution’s commitment to producing graduates who combine academic excellence with civic responsibility.
By partnering with a vital public institution like the CEC, RIT Kosovo strengthens its role as an engine of innovation, leadership, and democratic participation in Kosovo. For the country, this collaboration underscores the importance of linking academic institutions with public bodies to promote stronger institutions and more engaged citizens.
This MoU sets the stage for future partnerships that will continue to benefit students, the university, and the broader society.
