36th Osijek - Pforzheim Symposium Review

The Osijek-Pforzheim Symposium is an annual event which originated from the successful collaboration between the Hochschule Pforzheim -- Pforzheim University and the Faculty of Economics in Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek. As in the past three decades, the thematic focus of the joint symposium was based on topics which were of great relevance for the future development of both Osijek and Pforzheim. The major broad topic of the symposium in previous years was competitiveness and its various aspects, as the key contemporary paradigm of economic growth and development. "Challenges of competition and development in a changing surrounding" was the specific theme of the 36th Osijek-Pforzheim Symposium which was hosted by the Hochschule Pforzheim on Nov 5, 2015 and Nov 6, 2015.
