University Zagreb (Croatia) Erasmus Mundus program had a big influence on my research pedagogical career because there are very good conditions at this university to work on my research. University of Zagreb is very active in inviting different scientists from all over the world. They organized very interesting seminars, trainings and lectures. They were really helpful in my research. I had opportunities to communicate with scientists and other researches to exchange ideas not only in my field, but in several of scientific fields.
