ABOUT THE HOST: UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB The University of Zagreb (1669) is the oldest and largest university in Southeast Europe. Since its inception, the University has been continually evolving and growing. Now it comprises 29 faculties, three art academies and the Center for Croatian Studies. With its comprehensive programs and more than 50,000 regular undergraduate and postgraduate students, the University is the strongest educational institution in Croatia, offering a wide range of academic programs leading to bachelor, master and doctor degrees in the areas of arts, biomedicine, biotechnology, engineering, as well as humanist, natural and social sciences. The University is also highly focused on research, participating in more than 50 per cent of all research in Croatia.

FACULTY/ACADEMY PROFILE The Faculty of Kinesiology is an educational and research institution of higher education, one of the younger members of the University of Zagreb. Today’s Faculty of Kinesiology of the University of Zagreb began in 1959, when the College for Physical Culture (VŠFK) was founded in Zagreb as an independent educational and scientific institution preparing highly qualified experts for physical education for the needs of the school system, industry, health and physical culture organizations to work in education, recreation and kinesitherapy. The College for Physical Culture was incorporated into the University of Zagreb in 1967. Since the academic year 1973/74, it operated under the name of the Faculty of Physical Culture/Education of the University of Zagreb. The Faculty had that name until 2001, when it was renamed into the Faculty of Kinesiology of the University of Zagreb, operating as a public scientific and educational institution organizing and providing university studies and developing the scientific and expert work in the scientific field of kinesiology and related scientific disciplines. In 2009, the Faculty of Kinesiology of the University of Zagreb celebrated its 50th anniversary.

RESEARCH ORIENTATIONThe Faculty is an important scientific research centre in the Republic of Croatia where fundamental, developmental and applied research is carried out in the fields of general and applied kinesiology and in the cognate or adjacent, mainly anthropological, scientific disciplines. Nowadays, the body of Croatian kinesiological knowledge is based upon a respectable number of more than 4,100 reference items, comprising scientific and professional journal papers, conference contributions, books and parts in books, research project reports, master and doctoral thesis. These scientific products are the results of the experimentally oriented investigations accomplished within the

regular research activities of the Faculty, scientific projects or expertise studies.
