The discussion was expertly moderated by Dr. Dubravka Kovačević of ZSEM.

Prof. Nakaš emphasized the transformative power of alliances, highlighting their profound impact on both universities and society as a whole. She noted that the real influence of these collaborations extends beyond academic topics, stating, “This is the most important moment for the alliances—their ability to reach beyond institutional boundaries and impact society.”
Dr. Kovačević opened the discussion with an overview of the alliances' objectives, which set the stage for a rich exchange of ideas among the panelists. The session concluded with a dynamic Q&A, where attendees contributed diverse perspectives, further enriching the dialogue.
