The University of Rijeka has a vision to become the European University of the Future - an open university that advocates inclusiveness, innovation, connection with the community, a university that goes beyond the walls of institutions, disciplines, borders. Certain step-ups, upturns and changes are necessary to bring every vision to reality.

The University of Rijeka is the first to step forward again. This time through digital transformation, offering future and current students support in finding their way in the academic environment, thus facilitating their access to higher education and successful study.

At a time when everyone needs information the most, and at the same time, due to the situation caused by the Covid-19 virus pandemic, the University of Rijeka presents the first Croatian university virtual assistant - the owl URI.

URI will try to respond quickly and efficiently to user inquiries and provide information and instructions. It will answer questions related to studies, studying, student standard and student activities and offer the latest information!

URI allows access to information from any digital device, at any time from any place. User can get the information they are looking for by searching the topics offered or by asking questions that the URI, using artificial intelligence, answers in real time.
