“As vice-dean for international relations, I actively worked on the preparation of this composition of the Program Council and I am proud that we managed to bring together all these people in the same team with the idea to contribute to further raising the competitiveness of Croatian education globally. We follow what the best in education in the world do and follow what has proved successful with them.
