University of Zagreb (UNIZG) (established in 1669) is South-Eastern Europe's oldest and largest university. As a comprehensive public Central European university, the University of Zagreb offers education and research in all scientific fields (arts, biomedicine, biotechnology, engineering, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences) and a broad spectrum of courses at all study levels, from undergraduate to postgraduate. With 31 faculties and 3 art academies, it stands as the flagship
educational institution in the country, where more than 7,900 teachers and 72,480 students develop knowledge and acquire skills. The university excels in both teaching and research, contributing over 50% of the annual research output in Croatia and 80% of the scientific productivity among Croatian universities.
The central strategic goal for the future development of the University of Zagreb is to become a research-oriented institution with high-quality teaching. Accordingly, the focus will be on master's and doctoral programs across all fields of science and art, fostering transdisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity, and translational research while nurturing a culture of innovation and knowledge transfer. This should result in better intersectoral harmonisation at local and regional levels.
University of Zagreb, Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences (UNIZG FTTS) was founded in 1984 as an independent scientific, teaching, and research institution. At UNIZG FTTS there are 190 employees, including 120 scientific researchers, 30 researchers, and 40 technical staff members.

Currently, UNIZG FTTS is a leading scientific and research institution in Croatia, accounting for approximately 80% of the country's research output in its field and serving as the leading institution for education in transport and traffic sciences. The Faculty possesses expertise in passenger
transport, cargo transport, transport technology, and transport management.
