About FOS
Dean's Message
Dear students, colleagues, and friends of the Faculty of Organization Studies in Novo mesto
As the new Dean, I am honored to continue the path of excellence the Faculty has taken since its establishment in 2008. In its 16 years of operation, FOŠ has become a recognized educational and research institution, both locally and internationally. Our mission is clear: to develop the creative potential of individuals and organizational sciences and contribute to the continuous improvement of the quality of life. Our work is based on strong values that guide us in all our endeavors and shape the identity of our Faculty. These core values guide all our efforts and crucially shape the identity of our Faculty, from our research and teaching work to our contribution to society.
Our vision is to become one of the most recognized faculties in the field of organizational sciences in the international arena. We are pursuing this vision by:
- Innovative study programs that combine theory with practice and are adapted to the needs of modern times.
- Research excellence, reflected in publications in reputable international journals and participation in research projects.
- Collaboration with organizations, enabling our students to tackle real-world challenges.
- Internationalization, reflected in international partnerships, exchanges, guest teachers, winter and summer schools and conferences.
- Commitment to quality and continuous improvement of our processes and services.
In the future, we plan to build on our success story by focusing on:
- Further developing our study programs to reflect the latest trends and labor market needs.
- Strengthening research excellence and promoting an interdisciplinary approach.
- Deepening our collaboration with the community and further internationalization.
- Closer cooperation with business and the wider community.
We will pay particular attention to the development of competences for the future - creativity, entrepreneurship, digitalization, leadership in a digital environment, sustainable development, and socially responsible action.
I invite you to join us on this journey. Whether as a student, a researcher, a partner, or a friend of the faculty - at FOS, you will find the space to grow, innovate, and create positive change in society. Visit us, apply to our programs, attend our events, or get in touch for more information.
I look forward to working together to shape the future of organizational sciences and contribute to the continuous improvement of the quality of life.
Yours sincerely,
prof. Dr Annmarie Gorenc Zoran
Dean and Professor
