The first working day was held at the Rectorate building of the University in Kosovska Mitrovica. It was organised as a workshop where KLABS results of all project partners were discussed in relation to project application and recommendations from the EACEA, and individual utilisation of the grant was compared to KLABS achievement and original budget.
On the second day, the field trip was organised. It was an opportunity to meet with regional natural and cultural heritage, and to explore future case studies that can be incorporated into developed programmes and dealt with within the developed knowledge labs.
Morning session of the third Conference day was organised at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Kosovska Mitrovica. Here, the work concerned the development of the “Network of Knowledge Labs for Sustainable and Resilient Built Environment in the Balkans”. It included formulation of the scope of Network activities and programmes, and preparation of the Cooperation Agreement that will be signed between all six KLABS partners from Western Balkan.
In the afternoon of third Conference day, round table “Sustainability and Resilience of the Built Environment: Education, Practice and Research” was organised. Marking the closure of the project KLABS in a ceremonial way, this event was an opportunity to discuss lessons learned through project implementation, its impact and the means of strengthening the links between project results and wider society. Participants at the round table also talked about the options of future collaboration.
Next to other events organised within the Final KLABS Conference, coordinator and project partners welcomed and worked together with the team of external evaluators of specialist study programme Sustainability and Resilience of the Built Environment, developed and implemented at the Faculty of Technical Sciences of the University in Kosovska Mitrovica from the school year 2017/2018.

Following the engagement of tutors and students of bachelor, master and specialists academic studies Sustainability and Resilience of the Built Environment at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Kosovska Mitrovica, and in collaboration with the tutors and students from the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Ljubljana, the exhibition of students’ design projects, entitled URBANISATION OF GRAČANICA, has been opened on 11 June 2018 at the gallery of the Cultural Centre in Gračanica.
Previously, the semester-long work on the task has been initiated with the Conference and the 4-day workshop organised in March 2018, with the support of the Municipality of Gračanica, the Tourist Organisation of Gračanica and the Embassy of Norway in Priština.
Presented architectural and urban design solutions signed by the students from Kosovska Mitrovica and Ljubljana have been focused on:

• understanding the issues and theoretical starting points in the development and reorganisation of urban space with respect to the central topic of the workshop: “development of sustainable and balanced communities in which all parts of society, regardless of their wealth, occupation or origin, feel involved”.

• studying the development potentials of single locations in relation to wider environment, from the points of: architecture, urbanism, tourism and sustainability;

• looking for possible motives of urban planning, where the main design principle was “filling the voids” with the possibility of a contemporary use of public spaces;

• organisation of the new part of town by introducing “liveability” of open spaces, the idea of living in a community as micro-society with the models such as co-housing, urban farming which connects positive aspects of rural areas with urban style of living, organisation of new development with principles of participatory urbanism, etc.;

• and protecting the most important view to Gračanica – to develop the town in the center of touristic services that rely not only on the built heritage, but also on the landscape that surrounds the place, on the fresh, local products that translate into distinctive gastronomic tradition, and of course on its people, who are traditionally aware of the concept of genuine, warm hospitality.

Following the welcome and the introduction to the event on the beginning of the first day, two thematic teachers’ trainings were organised. The first was dedicated to the methodologies, software and tools for environmental assessment of construction materials, components and buildings. Special accent has been put on different software application and usability with special recommendation on those found most suitable for KLABS study programmes. Presentation was followed by questions from the side of event participants (students and teachers) and a fruitful discussion with conclusions. After the short break with organized walk and sightseeing, meeting has been continued with the training session on energy modelling software, held at the Lab for Sustainable and Resilient Built Environment at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Kosovska Mitrovica. Here, the participants were given a possibility to acquire knowledge and skills about how to manage real case studies regarding examination of the energy performance of buildings of various types. Numerous students and teaching staff have been present during the both trainings, showing a great interest for this exceptional opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience with the teachers from higher education institutions in EU.
Second working day started with project promotion in media. Host institution invited journalists from the local TV station TV Most to make a video reportage about the KLABS project. Coordinator and the partners from both WB and EU institutions took a chance to share their experience and present achieved results and further expectations.
Program has then been continued with the analysis of project’s achievements. WB participants presented to-date results in the following aspects: Relevance; Regional cooperation; Activities; Reforms; Links with society; Impact; Dissemination; Sustainability/Exploitation; Unexpected outcomes/ spin-off effects; and Innovation. Each presentation was followed by consultations regarding the activities until the end of project and necessary actions to be undertaken.
Second-day agenda continued with KLABS project management team meeting session that included assessment of the project implementation and project results; risks assessment; and preparatory activities for the closure of the project KLABS. Special accent in this session was potential risk identification and modalities of overcoming the same, all with the main goal to achieve all expected project results. The final session of the meeting was the workshop on financial documentation. All partners received feedback comments from the coordinator, regarding previously submitted (updated) financial documentation state-of-the-art and the necessary corrections.
In-between the work sessions on the second day of the event, the hosts organised a group visit to Banjska Monastery, historical heritage of Zvečan municipality - a cultural monument of exceptional significance.

In collaboration with the Municipality of Gračanica, the Tourist Organisation of Gračanica, and the Embassy of Norway in Priština, KLABS participants from the University in Kosovska Mitrovica – Faculty of Technical Sciences and the University of Ljubljana – Faculty of Architecture were given an opportunity to together organise and participate in a series of events from March to September 2018, including conferences, workshops, seminars and exhibitions, with the aim to configure the plan of future development of Gračanica. Particular challenge to be addressed is sustainability of this spatially blended, urban-rural environment that has been subjected to massive transformation during the past two decades.
On the 22nd of March, the Conference that aimed to define the desired outcomes of sustainable urbanisation of Gračanica has been organised, and the topics such as spatial, social and economic conditions, architectural and urban design directions, and the methodological formats optimal for the achievement of set goals, were set forth during the productive dialogue.
Following the Conference, the representatives from the Municipality of Gračanica – Urbanism Department, the Tourist Organisation of Gračanica, as well as the educators and students from the universities in Ljubljana and Kosovska Mitrovica got involved into a 4-day workshop held in the Cultural Centre of Gračanica. The work has been organised in four groups: urban planning and design; architecture; sustainable development; and tourism. Based on the comprehensive survey previously undertaken among the residents of Gračanica, about 35 workshop participants started their collaborative work with the good insight regarding the community needs, problems and expectations. Every working day of the workshop was wrapped up with the presentation of the progress made. At the end of the workshop, the student summarized and presented their overall work, and the results were positive.
The work on sustainable urbanization of Gračanica continues through the individual and collaborative work of the two groups of students and their tutors. Plans for the next project phases are determined.

The event was organised by the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy (that is by the Faculty's Chair for Urban Planning and the Centre for Sustainability and Integrative Design) in collaboration with Banja Luka City Authority and NGO Centre for Spatial Research.
Having regarded that the new Urban Plan of Banja Luka (together with the Strategy for Integrated Development) is currently intensely considered and prepared – more than 40 years after publishing the previous plan - the need has arisen for professional and broader public to be considerably included in the process of vision creation.
Urban Café, drawing together professionals, academics and students from fields of urban and spatial planning, architecture, economy, sociology, ecology, media, as well as the creative people of different professional background, provided a unique opportunity for exchange of ideas on an array of subjects: General urbanisation trends and strategies for Banja Luka; Housing and urban spaces related to it; Urban spaces dedicated to work and industry; Public spaces; Projects of strategic significance; Public and stakeholder participation; Sustainability and resilience; Identity.
Individual subjects were discussed in several rounds, with participants choosing different subjects at every round. At the end, moderators presented key points and conclusions to the joint audience. Café ended with a panel discussion between several prominent professionals and representatives of the institutions FACEG UBL, Banja Luka City Authority, Department for spatial management in Banja Luka City Administration, UNDP, and the Enterprise Development Agency Eda (NGO).
The event was an opportunity for the first public appearance and presentation of the Centre for Sustainability and Integrative Design, established at the UBL and FACEG as part of KLABS project.

The event was opened by welcoming words and short introduction about the hosting institution by Dean of Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, Vice-Rector of UBL and Institutional Coordinator of KLABS project.
The first part of the first meeting day included the presentation by Project Coordinator about the project results and the activities in the third year of project implementation.
