As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, this past week, a delegation of the Technical University of Gabrovo, led by the Rector prof. dr. sc. Iliy Zhelezarov and vice-rector, doc. dr. sc. Plamen Tsankov, paid a visit to one of Zagreb University’s faculties in Sisak.
The visit of the Bulgarian Technical University to the Faculty of Metallurgy in Sisak was part of a working visit by a delegation from the Bulgarian city of Gabrovo, led by Mayor Tanja Hristova.
“We presented our guests with the activities which are undertaken at the Faculty of Metallurgy, and we also talked about possible cooperation and joint future projects. As one of the leaders of the metallurgical industry in the Republic of Croatia, with experience and all awards and recognitions, the Faculty of Metallurgy can be a good example to our colleagues from Bulgaria. On the other hand, the Technical University of Gabrovo can continue to be a role model for us when it comes to everyday work and projects,” said the dean of Zagreb University’s Faculty of Metallurgy in Sisak, Zdenka Zovko Brodarac.
The hosts also introduced their Bulgarian guests to the curriculum and directions at the faculty, and they were especially interested in the fact that after graduating from the Faculty of Metallurgy, students find a job within three months and that a large number of them find a job while still studying, and that scholarships are provided for all students.
They were also pleasantly surprised by the fact that almost half of the students at the Faculty of Metallurgy in Sisak are women, which is a fantastic message to send out in an industry which has always been dominated by males.
The meeting, which took place in the City Hall of the Faculty of Metallurgy, was followed by a tour of the laboratory and the building of the faculty itself.
