The Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Rijeka, was founded in mid-1961 as part of the University of Zagreb. Teaching at the Faculty began on 1 November 1961. With the establishment of the University of Rijeka in 1973, the Faculty became one of its constituent units. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The establishment of the Faculty of Economics in Rijeka was preceded by the intensive economic development of the City of Rijeka, especially after the Second World War. The founder of the Faculty was the People\u2019s Committee of the Rijeka District, and the decision on its establishment was signed by the then President of the Committee, Franjo \u0160irola. The decision was confirmed by the Parliament of the People\u2019s Republic of Croatia. The commission that adopted the decision on the establishment was headed by Mario Badurina, then President of the People\u2019s Committee of the Rijeka District. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the time when the Faculty of Economics in Rijeka was founded, there was a widespread belief that every new faculty was beneficial not only to its immediate area, but also to the wider social environment, provided that it was properly located and organised. The Faculty\u2019s catchment area included Istria, the Croatian Littoral, Gorski kotar, part of Lika, and the islands of Cres, Lo\u0161inj, Rab, and Pag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The establishment of the Faculty of Economics in Rijeka and its programme orientation were shaped by several key factors: the growing need for highly educated experts in economics in line with the economic and general development plans of the Rijeka and Pula areas, the need for further education of employed persons with secondary qualifications, and the fact that the existing faculties of economics in Croatia did not sufficiently meet the specific needs of the economic structure of the Rijeka region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the time of its establishment, the Faculty\u2019s fundamental tasks were also defined: to provide students with theoretical and practical knowledge from various fields of economics, to familiarise them with the methods of scientific research in economic practice, and to educate and train them to become successful, highly educated economic professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Rijeka, thus became a key higher education, scientific, and teaching institution in the field of economics for the Kvarner, Istrian, and Gorski kotar regions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tatjana Virant, employed on 1 October 1961 as a Grade III officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Anka Sekuli\u0107-Paliku\u0107a, employed on 1 October 1961 as a Grade III computing officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Miroslava Buljan, employed on 1 October 1961 as an auxiliary staff member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Stanka Koki\u0107, employed on 1 October 1961 as an auxiliary staff member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Vladimir Farka\u0161, employed on 1 November 1961 as a Grade I associate professor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mladen Car, employed on 1 November 1961 as a Grade I lecturer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ratimir Kalmeta, employed on 1 November 1961 as a Grade I associate professor, senior lecturer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Frida Ko\u0161ara, employed on 1 November 1961 as a Grade I lecturer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Smilja Pave\u0161i\u0107, employed on 1 November 1961 as a Grade I librarian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Arsa Ravkin, employed on 1 November 1961 as a typist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Marijan Urbany, employed on 1 November 1961 as a Grade I associate professor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Milena Langer\u0161ek, employed on 1 November 1961 as a typist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Marija Mareni\u0107, employed on 2 November 1961 as an auxiliary staff member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Du\u0161an Jagodi\u0107, employed on 1 December 1961 as an assistant professor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Marija Ti\u0107ak, employed on 1 December 1961 as an auxiliary Grade IV office clerk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maria-Nira Sinti, employed on 1 December 1961 as a Grade III office clerk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u017divka Miladinovi\u0107, employed on 1 December 1961 as a trainee auxiliary Grade IV office clerk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nada Vrap\u010devi\u0107, employed on 1 December 1961 as a cleaner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Source<\/strong> Turina, A.

The Faculty premises occupied part of the third floor and the entire fourth floor of the building, while the lower floors were used by the then Chemical-Technology School and Technical School. During that period, the Faculty had a total area of 818 m\u00b2 at its disposal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As the Faculty developed, the number of students increased, and study programmes expanded, the need for significantly larger premises emerged over the years. The issue of space was finally resolved in 1996, when the City of Rijeka leased a business building at 4 Ivana Filipovi\u0107a Street to the Faculty, with a total area of 4,262 m\u00b2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The adaptation of the building was completed in 2001, making the premises fully suitable for the Faculty\u2019s teaching and scientific research activities. The occupancy permit was obtained in July 2001, after which the Faculty moved to its new location at 4 Ivana Filipovi\u0107a Street in the same year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A lease agreement for the auxiliary Annex building was concluded with the City of Rijeka in 2002. The reconstruction of the building was completed in 2005, providing an additional 309 m\u00b2 of space. At that time, these premises included a modern multimedia hall and areas intended for student organisations.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Vladimir Farka\u0161, PhD<\/strong> 1961\u20131963 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Vinko Tadejevi\u0107, Senior Lecturer<\/strong> 1963\u20131965 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Zoran Kompanjet, PhD<\/strong> 1965\u20131967 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Ante Turina, PhD<\/strong> 1967\u20131969 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Rude Petrovi\u0107, PhD<\/strong> 1969\u20131971 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Emanuel Dworski, PhD<\/strong> 1971\u20131973 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. \u017darko Popovi\u0107, PhD<\/strong> 1973\u20131975 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Eduard Bla\u0161ko, PhD<\/strong> 1975\u20131977 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Ivo \u017duvela, PhD, Professor Emeritus<\/strong> 1977\u20131979 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Ivan Nemarnik, PhD<\/strong> 1979\u20131981 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Jadranka De\u017eeljin, PhD<\/strong> 1981\u20131983 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Ante Star\u010devi\u0107, PhD<\/strong> 1983\u20131985 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Ivan Kralji\u0107, PhD<\/strong> 1985\u20131988 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Mar\u010delo Dujani\u0107, PhD<\/strong> 1988\u20131991 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Du\u0161an Strahinja, PhD<\/strong> 1991\u20131992 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Nada \u0160i\u0161ul, PhD<\/strong> 1992\u20131996 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Vinko Kand\u017eija, PhD<\/strong> 1996\u20132000 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Ivan Mencer, PhD<\/strong> 2000\u20132004 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Vinko Kand\u017eija, PhD, Professor Emeritus<\/strong> 2004\u20132010 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Heri Bezi\u0107, PhD<\/strong> 2010\u20132016 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Alen Host, PhD<\/strong> 2016\u20132022 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dean: Prof. Sa\u0161a Drezgi\u0107, PhD<\/strong> 2022\u2013present <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n The Faculty\u2019s yearbooks are a valuable source for tracing its development and activities over time.
