Our courses are designed to challenge and inspire you in a fun and open-minded learning environment. Plus, you’ll have the chance to network and participate in fun sports activities with other students. And did we mention that it all takes place in beautiful Zadar, Croatia, one of the most stunning cities on the Adriatic coast?

Best of all, JoSSIS courses are free to participants from our three partnering institutions! You’ll be responsible for personal costs like travel, accommodation, and food, but with everything we have to offer, it’s worth it.

In this course, you will learn the basics of chatbots and how they work with artificial intelligence. You will understand how chatbots can have and understand human-like conversations and how they are used in different industries.

How to create a game for a web browser? A large number of game development platforms are available. One of them is Unity, with which games can be created for various media platforms, such as smartphone, computer, web browser, and more. In this course, a web game is designed and created using Unity. No programming skills are necessary, since there are various plug-ins such as Bolt, allowing to implement solutions visually. Therefore, it will be possible for all participants to implement a prototype or ideas.

In this Bootcamp, learn from bestselling author and design thinking thought leader Michael Lewrick how to design the future using Design Thinking, exponential technologies, data analytics, and systems thinking.
