Tradition, quality and significance of the ENT Summer Camp brand

Ericsson Nikola Tesla Summer Camp was founded in 2001 as a joint project and result of a long-term successful cooperation between the company Ericsson Nikola Tesla and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing of the University of Zagreb. It was the first workshop in Croatia where students had the opportunity to gain work experience in the ICT industry by working on various company projects. With a tradition of more than two decades and continuous growth and development, ENT Summer Camp has become a recognizable brand based on the synergy of industry and the academic community, which is one of the prerequisites for the sustainable development of society as a whole.

By cooperating with academic institutions through this project, we contribute to raising the quality of education and therefore to raising the competitiveness of the Croatian economy. Through this activity, educational institutions with which we cooperate maintain and improve cooperation with the industry and raise the quality of their teaching process, which contributes to the education of skilled and competent ICT experts.

The quality of the project is also evidenced by relevant awards such as the Golden Index that we have won several years in a row, and its significance is all the greater because the decision was made by the students themselves, i.e. a committee made up of student associations of the University of Zagreb following the initiative of the eSTUDENT association. Ericsson Nikola Tesla, as the company with the most Gold Index awards, was also awarded the Grand Prix for large companies. We are extremely proud to be recognized in this way and that this recognition comes directly from students, our potential employees who will work with us for a better future.
