Prof. Marijana Carić presented the University, its successes and developments, through the story about international cooperation and projects. Prof. Mirko Kulić spoke about the culture and tradition of Serbia, mentioning some of the world-famous scientists and top athletes who come from our country.

The meeting was also attended by Prof. Dejan Mihailović PhD, who works as a professor at the “Universidad Tecnológico de Monterrey“ in Mexico and the Faculty of Economics and Engineering Management in Novi Sad, and Prof. Jelena Vapa Tankosić, PhD, both of whom are lecturers in this year’s summer school.

Prof. Dragan Ilić, PhD briefly introduced the program for this year, which is the fourth summer school being organized at our University. Dr. Ilić pointed out that no other university in Eastern Europe, except the University Business Academy, has managed to establish a student exchange program with the Universidad Tecnológico de Monterrey from Mexico. According to Prof. Ilić, this is the most successful summer school in the region, bringing together students from all over the world and enabling them to learn about Serbia and its culture, while attending classes and exchanging knowledge and skills with professors and fellow students at the University Business Academy. The biggest confirmation of success and extremely positive experiences of the students who have participated in this exchange program so far is a new five-year contract which has been signed with the Universidad Tecnológico de Monterrey from Mexico, as a leading university in Latin America.
