The event brought together bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral students representing the educational programs “Finance,” “Banking,” and other related fields. Participants had the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of international finance and global markets.

During the meeting, a lecture titled “Globalization of International Finance” was delivered, highlighting key aspects of global financial integration, including global market dynamics, cross-border capital flows, and the growing interdependence of national economies.
The lecture was presented by Ivica Klinac, PhD, Assistant Professor at the Department of Business and Management, University of Applied Sciences Baltazar Zaprešić (Zaprešić, Croatia).

The program concluded with a presentation titled “Foreign Direct Investment in Emerging and Developing Economies” by Larysa Hrytsenko, Dr. Sc., Professor of the Department of Financial Technologies and Entrepreneurship at Sumy State University (Sumy, Ukraine). In her presentation, she shared the results of a joint study on the impact of war on foreign direct investment and the dynamics of investment flows in developing and emerging economies.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Ivica Klinac for his insightful lecture and to Larysa Hrytsenko for her significant contribution to the implementation of the program, as well as to all participants for their active engagement!
