The UNESCO Chair of Governance and Management of Higher Education was founded at the University of Zagreb in 2003 with the aim of fostering quality culture in our higher education system, transforming the governance system of Croatian universities in accordance with European trends and practices, and connecting the higher education system with industry, entrepreneurship and civil society at large. The UNESCO Chair was inaugurated by the then Rector of the University of Zagreb, Professor Helena Jasna Mencer, in Bucharest, Romania, the site of the UNECSO CEPES central. The University of Zagreb's UNESCO Chair is one of the few existing Chairs with this mission in Europe.
Until 2007, the Chair was held by prof. dr. Vlasta Vizek Vidović. At the initative of the current Rector, Professor Aleksa Bjeliš, the Chair was restructured in the period 2008-2012 into a think-tank group composed of academics and staff of varying profiles, ages, career tracks and levels of experience. The group scrutinized local, regional and global issues and trends in higher education and research, formulated goals and suggested strategies for the advancement of the higher education and university-based research system. Members of the group at this time were: Matko Barišić, Ksenija Grubišić, Helena Jasna Mencer, Pavel Gregorić, Marko Rogošić, Anita Peti Stanić, Hrvoje Šikić and Ksenija Turković.
By May 2012, the UNESCO Chair has organized three international round tables and one Global Convention of UNESCO Chairs in Governance and Management of Higher Education and related topics. The first round table was dedicated to the issues of integration or fragmentation of the University of Zagreb (May 2009) the second to the benchmarking of the Bologna process to-date (March 2010) and the third one to financing research universities in times of financial crisis (December 2010). The 1st Global Convention was held in Dubrovnik in October 2011.
