Dear students & mentors!

We would like to invite you to our traditional international student case study competition which will take place in Portoroz, Slovenia.

The concept of a case study is a methodologically and educationally oriented challenge, aimed at integration of different theoretical concepts and situations from the real business environment, in other words, a Case Study is a documented study of specific real-life situations, used as a training tool, where students are required to analyse the prescribed case and present their solutions to the company representatives.
