We were delighted to welcome Dr. Petra Mezulić Juric from J. J. Strossmayer University of Osijek, Croatia to the School of Tourism & Hospitality Management, TU Dublin this summer. Our connection began through the ECSB Mentorship Programme, where I had the privilege of mentoring Petra as she developed her academic career in entrepreneurship.

Building on this relationship, we are now launching a collaborative PhD initiative between the Centre for Entrepreneurial Behaviour, Innovation and Inclusion, TU Dublin and the International Center for Entrepreneurial Studies (ICES), Croatia. This exciting partnership is supported by Erasmus+ mobility funding and will commence in the upcoming academic term.
