It is both a pleasure and an honor to announce and celebrate an important award that 

the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of the Analytic Hierarchy Process 

recently received. On December 18, 2014 Enrique Mu, Associate Professor at the 

Carlow University, Co-Director of the MBA program and Editor-in-Chief of the 

IJAHP, was honored by the University of Zagreb in a live ceremony using a special 

video link as a "Friend of the Faculty of Organization and Informatics". 

 

This award is a Charter that was established 5 years ago to recognize people whose 

relationship with the university exceeds the academic or research realm, and who 

become a friend of the institution. This is the first time the award has been given to a 

U.S.-based scholar. 

 

“We find you a very important person in the process of the Faculty of Organization 

and Informatics (FOI) development, especially in research and international project 

cooperation and networking. You were ready to host our researchers, you were a 

devoted mentor of our PhD students, you supported mobility of our students, you did 

a lot on international affirmation of our Faculty, you inspire us when we think about 

our strategy, some of us were kindly received at your University...”, said Vjeran 

Strahonja, the Dean of FOI at the University of Zagreb, in an e-mail announcing the 

award. 

 

“I was nicely surprised when I received the notice of this award from the University 

of Zagreb. I have worked on different research projects with faculty and students 

there for several years, and this has led to a mutual respect and friendship, which is 

what this recognition is about. It was an honor to receive this award”, said Enrique. 

 

Warm congratulations to Enrique from all of us!
