The last year's winner is Jasmina Dlačić from the University of Rijeka, Faculty of Economics and Business, Croatia with a paper Groundwork for higher educational institutions – Assessing perceived service quality.

In her work, Dlačić explored perceived service quality in a HEI from a student perspective. She states that as competition intensified, „the focus on providing superior service quality became imperative for higher educational institutions" while she agrees that „internationalization is ubiquitous and top-quality higher educational institutions implement international accreditation standards".

Mrs. Dlačić about her HEIC experience: „The HEIC conference is a perfect venue for institutions seeking high-quality standards in higher education. Although the conference was held online, it provided a wealth of networking and learning opportunities. At the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Rijeka, a few years ago we began the foundational work of finding out where we are in terms of higher education quality, a part of the process that I've explored in my research paper. All to modify our processes to meet high educational quality standards that AACSB support. We sincerely believe that the only way forward for higher education institutions is to put students at the center of learning by continuously improving quality of teaching and scholarship".
