This two-day event has begun with introductions and presentations of both institutions. Following the initial activities, Hungarian students, together with current and former FOI students, had the opportunity to present their ideas and topics for their final and master’s theses. Special emphasis was placed on sharing experiences in the process of writing these papers. The guests from Hungary showcased their approach to final and master’s theses, while Assoc. Prof. Zlatko Stapić, Ph.D., Vice Dean for Education and Students, presented FOI's system and practices. During a dedicated workshop, participants explored opportunities for further collaboration between students and mentors in writing and supervising theses, paving the way for new joint projects and academic partnerships.
Additionally, two practical workshops are organized. A workshop on creating professional LinkedIn profiles was led by Amalija Koren Cavaleiro, Head of FOI Support and Career Development Centre. On Thursday, a Low Coding workshop involving FOI students will be led by Full Prof. Vjeran Strahonja, Ph.D., Assoc. Prof. Dijana Oreški, Ph.D. and Larisa Hrustek, MSc.
Participants also have the chance to explore the city of Varaždin through an organized city tour.
This visit provides an excellent opportunity for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and the establishment of valuable connections between institutions. We anticipate that this meeting will inspire new ideas and open doors for future joint projects!
