HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION MANAGEMENT AND QUALITY ASSURANCE a) State a short description of development of your HE institution and important events in the past 10 years (organisational changes, relocations, significant problems in operation). The Centre for Croatian Studies of the University of Zagreb was founded on the 16 November 1992, as a two-semester university comparative study of Croatian philosophy and society. During the first year of the programme it was transformed into a regular four-year study programme, with three study programmes: the comparative study of Croatian culture (CROATICUM), the study of Philosophy and the Study of Society. After the study programme of Philosophy and Religious Culture of the Faculty of Philosophy of the Society of Jesus was added, these study programmes and curricula proposals were accepted by the Scientific-educational Council of the University of Zagreb on 28 September 1993, and the Ministry of Science and Technology approved the enrolment quotas for these study programmes. From that time on, the institution is officially known as the Centre for Croatian Studies. The study programme of Croatian culture, in all of its aspects—language, literature, history, philosophy, society etc.—that is the study programme of Croatology, is conceived as the pivotal study programme around which the institution will develop. On 24 November 1995, the Senate of the University of Zagreb adopted the Regulations on the structure and activities of the Croatian Studies. In accordance with the Regulations the Croatian Studies was established as a university centre with the legal status of a branch of the University of Zagreb. On this basis, the Croatian Studies was registered at the Commercial Court in Zagreb on the 16 January 1996. Having regulated its legal status and initiated the process of adoption of the four-year undergraduate study programmes during the 1996 (Philosophy, Croatian Culture, Journalism, History, Sociology, plus Philosophy and Religious Culture offered by the Jesuit Faculty of Philosophy, and then in 1997 Psychology), the Centre accomplished the second phase of its development and was constituted as a university centre at its present scope. The first faculty appointments at the Centre were made in July 1997, after which the Academic Council of the Centre was constituted. At this stage of development, the Centre followed the founding idea that university research institutes should participate in the creation and implementation of university study programmes which offer an alternative to those which were then offered at other constituents of the University of Zagreb. However, research institutes that used to be parts of the University of Zagreb, including those which participated in the study programmes at the Centre, became independent institutions (public research institutes) by a state act from 1993. This had direct repercussions for the status of the Centre. What initially began as a university-based cooperation between the University constituents, for the greatest part turned into collaboration with institutions outside of the University of Zagreb. The cooperation with the Faculty of Philosophy of the Society of Jesus was secured through agreement with the Jesuit Faculty of Philosophy, signed on 16 October 1997. This agreement regulates the election of the teachers from the Jesuit Faculty of Philosophy into scientific-educational titles and their employment as teachers holding positions at the Centre for Croatian Studies. All matters of scientific-educational advancement and approval of the curricula are decided upon by the Scientific- 5 educational Council of the Centre of Croatian Studies. Personnel services of the Centre take care of the matters related to staffing competitions and advancement, while all teachers from the Jesuit Faculty of Philosophy sign employment contracts with the Head of the Croatian Studies, who serves as the representative of the University of Zagreb. On 12 September 2005, the Academic Council of the Centre for Croatian Studies adopted the Regulations on the structure and activities of the Centre for Croatian Studies, which were approved by the Senate of the University of Zagreb. By the Decision on the structure and activities of departments of the Croatian Studies (2009), adopted by the Scientific-educational Council of the Croatian Studies (which had acted as the Academic Council of the Centre prior to 2005), research and teaching activities of the Centre were organized through nine departments: Department of Philosophy, Department of Croatian Latinity, Department of Communication Studies, Department of Croatology, Department of History, Department of Psychology, Department of Sociology, Department of Educational Sciences and Teacher Education, and the Department of Philosophy and Religion Sciences (comprising teachers from the Jesuit Faculty of Philosophy). According to the Statute of the University of Zagreb from 25 February 2005, the Centre for Croatian Studies has the status of a research and teaching constituent of the University that organizes and conducts research, teaching and professional activities, and coordinates such activities within the University. In 2005, together with the Jesuit Faculty of Philosophy, the Centre for Croatian Studies initiated the process of ratification of 13 undergraduate, 12 graduate and 5 postgraduate doctoral study programmes. Following the recommendation of the National Council for Higher Education, the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports granted permissions, or conditional permissions, for all the proposed study programmes: Undergraduate
