EFRI IBW 2025 – It was such a great experience, I’ve learned a lot about negotiating and how to handle the process. The real-life experience of negotiating was very well organized and helpful for future cases.

IBW 2025 was a really valuable experience for me. It brought together international students, professors and business professionals, which made learning about negotiation more real and engaging. I especially liked the mix of teamwork and cultural exchange. The field trip to Hilton was one of the highlights for me, and there was also enough free time to enjoy Rijeka. The program showed how education can be practical, social and international at the same time.

 EFRI IBW 2024 is the first international educational programme for me, which included not only theory and practice in the learning process, but also a wonderful time on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. Rijeka, a city I visited for the first time, although I have been to other Croatian cities before, impressed me with its natural beauty and kind people. The organisation of the programme was top-notch, everything went according to schedule, special praise and applause to the organisers Valerija, Jakša and Tomislav. I not only deepened my knowledge in negotiation practices, but also met wonderful people.

That Workshop provides students with a lot of useful and interesting information as well as practical tasks. Professors and guest-lecturers were very professional, giving a lot of tips, advices and sharing their own experiences and knowledge. Our visit to the Hilton Hotel was also an awesome experience. So, I am very happy that I decided to participate in that program. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed the business negotiations program in Rijeka Croatia. We were hosted by outgoing Croatian students and Tomislav whom I can offer sincere praise. As a former sales representative and future real estate intern negotiation and persuasion are my bread and butter- the work shops taught me I have so much to learn still. I recommend this course for anyone in the business sector.

I am delighted I participated at the Business Negotiation Workshop Organized in Rijeka,Croatia. Together with my colleagues representing the International Business program from NHL Stenden, we had a great learing experience from the lecturers and assignments we participated in . The topics discussed will be of great value in the near future and i would definitely recommend it to the future students from NHL Stenden.

The great thing about EFRI International Business Workshop is that it gives insight in practical way of doing business. As it is important to know theoretical part, it is also important to know how to execute it. This workshop helped me to know what I can expect from future business meetings and negotiations. And most important thing it thought me how to act in those situations.
