WeB-Nimbus aims to address the digitalization gap in HEIs in Albania and Kosovo by implementing innovative educational activities. More specifically, WeB-Nimbus seeks to 
improve the quality of higher education by developing and standardizing an MSc program and the LMS platform that will host the online stand-alone courses in Cloud and Edge Computing. This initiative has a goal to bridge the gap between industries’ needs and HEIs’ current capabilities, enhancing their capacity to address regional and national social and economic needs. The WeB-Nimbus project is highly relevant to the contexts of Albania and Kosovo, as the development of cutting-edge 
curricula on Cloud and Edge Computing will respond to the industry needs, while young students will be equipped for jobs that are in high demanding, promoting thus economic growth.
