Dr. Slijepčević familiarized herself with the basic principles of statistics and ways of conducting her own analysis, including significance tests and linear regression techniques. During the training, the free software RStudio was presented, which was used for all practical aspects of the course, which is the user interface for R.

On January 1, 2024 The Institute of Economics, Zagreb started with the implementation of the four-year project „Challenges Facing Local and Regional Development in Croatia (RELI2)“, financed with funds from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan 2021-2026 - NextGenerationEU. The project is part of the four-year Program Agreement that the Institute of Economics, Zagreb signed with the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Croatia. The Program Agreement is a new instrument of public financing of scientific institutions that enables the institutions to independently manage scientific activity in accordance with national strategic goals and based on the results and quality of scientific work. The project lasts until December 31, 2027 and project activities, as well as events, will be published on the web pages of the Institute of Economics, Zagreb.
