EFRI Economic Council
The EFRI Economic Council is an advisory body that has been operating at the Faculty of Economics and Business in Rijeka since this year, and gathers representatives of the economic, public and academic sectors. The Council's activities are focused on intensifying cooperation between the academic community and the economy through adapting study programs to the needs of the economy, designing and implementing lifelong learning programs, working on research and European projects, and a whole series of activities for the benefit of the wider community.
The EFRI Economic Council is a body that connects scientists and the business community through joint initiatives in solving challenges in an analytical way, and they relate to the adoption of certain laws and certain segments of regulations and incentives, the introduction of which should be proposed to public bodies. The faculty is ready to accept ideas through other segments of cooperation, such as education programs and the creation of teaching programs.
