The Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Prof. Dr. Mijat Jocović, hosted the US Ambassador, Her Excellency Judy Rising Reinke, to discuss strengthening international cooperation and connecting the Faculty of Economics with prestigious American universities.

During the meeting, in addition to Ambassador Reinke, the US Embassy in Montenegro was represented by Mr. Stephen Dreikorn, Head of the Media, Culture, and Education Department, and Ms. Jelena Vojnić, Education Program Associate. The results achieved so far, as well as the plans of the Faculty of Economics in the field of enhancing internationalization with partner higher education institutions in Europe and universities in the United States, were presented.

The meeting was an opportunity for Ambassador Reinke to get acquainted with the collaboration with Boston College, with which the Faculty of Economics signed a Memorandum of Understanding at the end of last year. Based on this cooperation, 13 associates of the Faculty of Economics attended a two-week training program in September at Boston College on the latest pedagogical approaches and the use of advanced technologies in the educational process. Dr. Tamara Backović, Vice-Dean for International Cooperation, and Dr. Jovan Đurašković, Vice-Dean for Research, spoke about the results of the ongoing cooperation with Boston College and plans for future collaboration, which include student and faculty exchange programs, joint projects, and initiatives such as a summer school in Montenegro.

This visit reaffirms the Faculty of Economics’ commitment to internationalization and paves the way for greater visibility of Montenegrin institutions in the global academic community, which will significantly contribute to their further development, it was announced after the meeting.
