Founder and Managing Director of RISE
"Building on EURICE’s more than twenty years of experience in successfully managing collaborative R&I endeavours, it simply felt right to open a new chapter, join forces with a group of brilliant people in Croatia and mutually share our knowledge to bolster research and innovation and contribute to closing innovation gaps. It's not just about opening a new site and getting bigger; it's about strengthening the teams on both sides and adding value to our services for the benefit of the partners and project teams we are working with."
SMILJKA VIKIC-TOPIC

"With RISE, our mission is to encourage collaboration among academic research organisations and industry and to provide professional training programmes to support the next generation of innovators – especially in Widening countries – in creating and nurturing a vibrant culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. Personally, I am particularly thrilled to work with such a dedicated team and bring in my experience from various Life Science and technology transfer initiatives to connect people and projects."
