At the inaugural session of Algebra University held on the premises of their Zagreb campus on December 19, 2024, a new Economic Council was formed. The function of the new Economic Council is to encourage quality cooperation between the University and the economy in the field of adapting educational programmes to the needs of the labour market and jobs of the future. Likewise, its role is to ensure balance on the labour market and the development of the entire academic and business environment.
Just like its predecessor, the Algebra Economic Council, which was founded in 2009 based on the model of foreign universities, and was the first such form of cooperation between education and economy in Croatia.
