On 13 December 2017 the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Science and the Croatia Control Ltd. signed an agreement on scientific, teaching, and technical cooperation. The agreement establishes a framework for the development and establishment of curricula that will be aligned with the needs of the Croatia Control, primarily in the sense of high education of air traffic controllers, as well as of other personnel. In addition, the agreement laid the foundations for collaboration on larger projects involving research and development. A common goal was achieved in terms of exploiting all the existing technical and human resources available, in order to develop a system of education that would be competitive with similar programs in the EU, the center of which would be in the Republic of Croatia.
