23.10.2024. Prof. Dr. Vasilije Petrovic held a presentation and introduced the University of Novi Sad and the Technical Faculty "Mihajlo Pupin" as well as all network coordinators.

He also participated in the round table, with other coordinators, where the topic was: "How to increase student enrollment in textiles", and then in the final presentations of student works. Our students did their work in 4 workshops.

They would point out that the exchange of students in the CEEPUS program, within the framework of which the CIII-SI-0217 network organizes the Winter School Design Week, is very useful, because both teachers and students gain new international experiences in teaching. The special importance of this exchange is the international visibility of our University and Faculty in European academic circles.
