Summary/Abstract: The higher education system of North Vojvodina’s border region is here considered within the framework of the research project “Integrating (Trans-National Migrants in Transition States (TRANSMIG) SCOPES (2009–2012)”. This study makes a summary of research results relating to Serbian-Hungarian cross-border mobility – and it analyses the “borderless”, transnational and CBC partnerships of institutions with the aim of finding the best solution as regards the development of the marginalized region’s higher education system (a lack of institutions in the locality; a high percentage of students considering studying in Hungary, thus the issue of this highly-qualified elite not coming back). Institution leaders/the local-regional elite were interviewed on both sides of the border regarding what possibilities there might be for an innovative way of proceeding concerning higher education that can cross over the (still relevant) borders between Serbia and Hungary (e.g. joint degree programs, branch campuses, off-site training, etc.).
