SKIPPER national conference in Slovenia
The SKIPPER team from the University of Ljubljana School of Economics and Business had the opportunity to present their project at the GETM4 event on 19th September, 2024.
Both national and international audiences, comprising more than 30 attendees, learned about the project’s progress and were introduced to the SKIPPER App, developed during the project.
