Development strategy, mission and vision

Strategy

Development Strategy of the Department of Mathematics for the period 2016-2021

Mission

Create new knowledge through internationally recognised research in the field of mathematics.

Encourage continuous high-quality staff development in the field of mathematics through teaching and research.

Apply knowledge from the field of mathematics to interdisciplinary research with the aim of creating new knowledge from other fields of science or for the purpose of economic development.

Raise the quality of mathematics and statistics courses at other institutions of Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek.

Arrange lifelong learning for the purpose of application and education in the field of mathematics.

Vision

In the Central European region, the Department of Mathematics will be a place of partnership and collaborative gatherings at the international, national and local level. Graduates from the Department of Mathematics will continue to be in high demand as they are excellent and widely educated personnel competent to deal effectively with problems within their scope. As to the general public, the Department will be recognised as a socially responsible institution in the area of its scientific, educational and professional activities.

History of the Department

Department of Mathematics, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, was founded on 1 October 1999 as the first university department in the Republic of Croatia. It is organised along the lines of universities in Western Europe and North America. The core of the future Department of Mathematics formally began to form in 1993 when the Osijek Mathematical Society and the Institute of Applied Mathematics were founded, after that a regular Mathematical Colloquium was initiated, and in 1996 the scientific journal Mathematical Communications was launched.

As a result of exceptional activity of Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek and the then Ministry of Science and Technology, on 4 September 2001, the Department of Mathematics was given approval for using the premises of the former military barracks "Gaj". The first stage of renovation of part of the barracks for the needs of the Department of Mathematics ended in December 2001. Since then, the Department of Mathematics has been operating at its current location, i.e., Trg Ljudevita Gaja 6. The entire building was renovated by the end of 2003. The Department of Mathematics got adequate space in which it is possible to organise and carry out both classes and all activities related to scientific research in the field of mathematics.

A newly established Department of Mathematics took over two four-year undergraduate university study programmes, one in Mathematics and Computer Science, and the other in Mathematics and Physics, granting a BSc degree in Mathematics and Computer Science, and in Mathematics and Physics, respectively, from the then Faculty of Pedagogy, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, and immediately initiated activities aimed at the development of a new engineering undergraduate university degree study programme with several fields of specialisation. By the implementation of the Bologna process in the Republic of Croatia this activity was directed towards the development of new study programmes adapted to this process. Thus, the Department of Mathematics, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, got one of the first licenses for its newly established study programmes in line with the Bologna process.

In addition to all of these activities, the Department of Mathematics is engaged in the organisation of mathematics and statistics classes at other faculties of Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, as well as in the organisation of scientific and professional work in the field of mathematics at Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek. It should be emphasised that, as of the academic year 2009/2010, long-term planning and organisation made the Department of Mathematics fully capable of carrying out all teaching activities on its own in every study programme offered.
