Awards and Recognition

  • Award for Outstanding Presentation at the 27th University Fair
  • From November 10th to 12th, 2022, the 27th University Fair took place. After pandemic years, it was held again in full splendor, albeit in different venues. At this year's Fair, our Faculty was awarded for innovation in presentation. Alongside the exhibition space inside the Congress Hall at the Zagreb Fair, the Faculty presented itself through the nZEB mobile house MUZA located at the entrance to the hall. Visitors at the exhibition space could obtain basic information about the Faculty, study programs, admission criteria, and quotas from assistants and students. There was significant interest from visitors in the creation of physical models of load-bearing structures using MOLA Structural Model elements. The models' success based on the principle "Build smart - shake safely!" was tested on an earthquake table located at the Faculty's booth.
