The Balkan Institute for Experiential Education (BIEE) is a community of social scientific scholars and policy practitioners founded in 2018 and based in Belgrade, Serbia. The BIEE is a response to the demands of international students for deeper immersion in the politics, history, and society of the Balkans in global context. To that end we offer shorter (one to five weeks) summer programs and the 16-week long fall and spring semesters. Last, but not least, we hope to give an opportunity to both international and local students to meet, learn from each other, and foster long-lasting connections.
The BIEE operates as an independent academic center within the College of Economics and Administration, an institution of higher learning accredited with the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Serbia. The accreditation License: 612-00-00023/12/2018-03 was issued by the Commission for Accreditation and Quality Assurance of the Republic of Serbia on January 28, 2020 in Belgrade, Serbia.
