Our University is located in Rijeka, the center of our blue and green Primorje-Gorski kotar County. Rijeka is a city with a rich history of war, industry and port activities, and it is the industrial heritage that is constantly increasing tourist value. Our city is a port, a Port of Diversity, and this year it proudly holds the title of the European Capital of Culture. We are proud to be involved in such an important project.” Madam Rector also briefly presented the UNIRI Campus, emphasized that the University of Rijeka recently joined the YUFE Alliance, and mentioned some future praiseworthy initiatives, i.e. Center for Translational Medicine and the Innovation Arena.
