Zoran Krupka

Seconded from the University of Zagreb (UniZG) to RMIT Europe 

1 month, Summer 2019

As part of University of Zagreb’s team in “Horizon 2020 project: Open Innovation – Research Translation and Applied Knowledge Exchange in Practice through University-Industry-Cooperation”, I have spent one month as a secondment at RMIT Europe in Barcelona. Since I am coming from academic institution, during my stay at RMIT Europe I have experienced different kind of work focus and dedication.

As an academic, big part of my job is dedicated to students and students’ related challenges, while the rest of the time I can invest in research and work related with companies. Here, at RMIT Europe, I have been completely dedicated to research projects which has greatly been influenced by surrounding and atmosphere at RMIT Europe office. During my stay I have finished two papers and submitted them to scientific journals. Also, I started to write research proposal which will be submitted to one of the EU grant competitions.

Finally, this experience has been great in gaining a different view at work that I do every day, in meeting new people with different background exchanging ideas and thoughts with them, as well as warm welcome from all of them making me feel as part of RMIT Europe office.
