In November 2025, I had the privilege of representing the University of Banja Luka at the International Week of Mendel University in Brno, as part of the Erasmus+ mobility programme. During the five-day visit, from November 3rd to 7th, we toured several faculties of this renowned Czech institution, founded in 1919 and named after the father of genetics, Gregor Johann Mendel, with a particular highlight being our visit to the Faculty of Business and Economics, which serves as a natural counterpart to our own Faculty of Economics. Mendel University stands out for its large international student community and a well-developed system of incoming student mobilities, making it a vibrant and stimulating environment for studying, especially for international students. I also participated in workshops focused on innovations in the areas of international cooperation, mobility, university management, and sustainability. In addition, I had the opportunity to meet with University of Banja Luka students currently on exchange, mostly students from the Faculty of Economics of the University of Banja Luka, completing their exchange at Mendel University's Faculty of Business and Economics. It was from them that I heard very positive impressions firsthand. This mobility visit certainly represents a valuable contribution to strengthening academic and institutional cooperation between our institutions.
