Four years ago a group of the FET researchers completed their research activities on the scientific project Human Potentials and Reconstruction of the Croatian Economy (1996 – June 2002). The project was very successful, bringing to the Croatian and foreign scientific public opportunity to realize how complex social problems Croatia do have in that period of reconstruction and development. More than 120 references were published. Few conference papers were presented at different international conferences in Croatia and abroad bringing to the team members new possibilities for dissemination of aquired knowledge. Joining this Project as the partner institution, the Faculty of Economics and Tourism in Pula expand collaboration activities with a new dimension: scientific cooperation. The primary objective that the Faculty has in this context is to exchange different research practices being a part of further scientific network.
