Recently, the cooperation of teachers with Asian countries has become
stronger, primarily with partners from China, but also other
countries, both through mobility and through various forms of scientific
cooperation. The scientists and businessmen from Asia display
great interest in coming to Croatia, especially to institutions
that conduct scientific research and professional education. Encouraged
by the fact that the Faculty of Economics & Business - Zagreb
is the leading institution in the region, and in the context of the
geographical position of the Republic of Croatia as a member state
of the European Union, but at the same time also part of the Central
and Eastern Europe region (CEE), by the decision of the Faculty
Council of the Faculty of Economics & Business the Institute for
Eurasian Research was founded in June. The base of the Institute's
work is the development of international recognizability and is the
starting point for all forms of cooperation with Asian partners, in
order to support FEB ZG teachers.
The establishment of the Institute at the Faculty of Economics &
Business - Zagreb will make the Faculty a leader in this initiative
and in that sense ensure a stable position in the environment of
Southeast European countries. Prof. Kosjenka Dumančić, Ph.D., was
appointed as the Head, and Assist. Prof. Anita Čeh Časni, Ph.D. as
Deputy Head of the Institute.
