THE AHP/ANP CONFERENCE COMMUNITY 

 

 
 

As IJAHP Editor-in-Chief, I have the unique opportunity of getting to know AHP/ANP scholars 

and practitioners from all over the world. While my initial acquaintance is usually through this 

journal, it is often followed by personal interactions at diverse academic meetings in our 

discipline.   

 

I was privileged to attend the Multi-criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) Conference in Istanbul 

this past summer, and the Central European Conference of Information and Intelligent Systems 

(CECIIS) in Varazdin, Croatia, this fall. We reported about our MCDM experience in our 

previous issue, and are reporting about the CECIIS in this current one.   

 

In case you are wondering what the connection is between these conferences and the IJAHP, it is 

worth mentioning that many of our most distinguished IJAHP authors and board members 

actively participate in these conferences. Some of them polish their studies by presenting them at 

these conferences so that they can later be submitted to and published in our journal. For this 

reason, this journal has always made a point of publicizing and reporting on conferences related 

to our discipline.  

 

In this particular issue, in addition to our customary portfolio of AHP/ANP articles, we report the 

promotion of Professor Nina Begičević, member of the CECIIS program committee and IJAHP 

board member since its founding, to the position of Dean of the Faculty of Informatics (FOI) of 

the University of Zagreb. It is worth mentioning that Dr. Begičević is the first female and 

youngest faculty member appointed to the position of Dean of FOI.    

 

We conclude this issue with a reflection on the role of conferences in the academic experience 

given by Dr. Blazenka Divjak, Minister of Science and Education of the Republic of Croatia, in 

her opening remarks to the 30
th
 CECIIS meeting. 

 

Enjoy this issue and have a Happy Holiday season!
