The meeting was attended by the coordinator from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (Darko Matovac) and the coordinators from the partner institutions at universities in Graz, Skopje, Sofia, Belgrade, Bratislava, Prague, Ljubljana and Olomouc. During the meeting, the coordinators exchanged experiences and discussed future joint activities. The aim of the meeting was to strengthen the network, which is one of the oldest CEEPUS networks and which was actually founded at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb.

Network Slavic Philology in Its Cultural Contexts is focused on Slavic Philology. It equally emphasizes improvement of philological and linguistic competences and language skills through academic instruction as well as the exchange of theoretical and methodological approaches to language learning and teaching. One of the network’s main objectives is to facilitate cooperation between the participating institutions by providing a shared environment for philological education, thereby creating opportunities for bidirectional exchange of knowledge and cultural competencies. Besides the emphasis on the improvement of language skills and the enrichment of philological knowledge, a key factor in this network is the exchange of cultural knowledge, which is greatly supported by the immersive environment provided by the hosting country and institution.
