Specifically, this institution was built and established through the project "Support of the Government of the Kingdom of Norway to the formation of a Regional Center for the professional development of teachers in the region of Niš". 
The bearer of this project was the Ministry of Education and Sports of the Republic of Serbia and partners were the City of Niš and the government of Norway. After the construction and equipping of the facility employees had a series of trainings and meetings during which the Norway consultant helped in creating the first working plans and procedures. Teachers from the territory of the region (3 districts) had organized free accredited trainings for which they themselves have expressed interests.

The project was implemented from 2003. to year 2008. The value of the project amounted to € 1,305,000.
