Through a network of partner organisations, students complete internships, participate in projects, and gain first-hand insight into business processes. Employers are thus able to engage with future talent, while students develop competencies essential for their careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Faculty collaborates with companies and institutions on scientific and professional projects, conducts market analyses, evaluates public policies, and participates in national and European projects. Such cooperation creates tangible value for practice while enriching teaching with real-world examples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Business professionals, managers, and policymakers regularly participate as guest lecturers, panelists, and mentors at Faculty events. This enables students to gain insight into current trends, challenges, and best practices across different sectors, making teaching more dynamic and aligned with real business environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
EFRI offers lifelong learning programmes that include workshops, seminars, and specialised training in economics, finance, management, the public sector, entrepreneurship, and other business disciplines. These programmes are developed in cooperation with the business sector to ensure alignment with current market needs and professional challenges faced by organisations and their employees. This approach facilitates effective knowledge transfer and strengthens competencies through practically applicable content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The business community participates in the development and modernisation of study programmes, ensuring that learning outcomes align with labour market needs, new technologies, and global business trends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
