It was my pleasure to participate in the 51st International Annual Symposium DITP in Portorož, Slovenia. The event met all my expectations—from the excellent location and accommodation to the high-quality lectures and the presence of leading experts from the paper industry.
The symposium offered many interesting presentations that provided valuable insights into current developments in the field. Portorož’s pleasant atmosphere and good weather made the stay enjoyable and allowed for short visits around the town. The official evening dinner was well organized and provided a great opportunity for deeper discussions with participants. A major strength of the event was the mix of industrial and academic experts, which encouraged meaningful exchange of knowledge and experiences.
For future symposiums, I would like to offer two suggestions. First, I encourage even stronger cooperation between industry and academic institutions. Industry benefits greatly from academic knowledge and innovation, while academia depends on industry support and collaboration. More examples of joint projects and partnerships would be very welcome.
Second, extending the symposium to two days could create a more relaxed atmosphere, allow more time to visit company stands, and give participants a chance to explore the surroundings.
Overall, I would rate the symposium as excellent and would be glad to attend again. My sincere congratulations to the organizers and all participants.
Sincerely yours,
Adj. Prof. Dr. Nenad Milosavljević, MBA
