Sažetak

In spite of their long tradition and as an object of interest of their attendants, summer schools have only recently started to draw attention of researchers, especially when viewed as a form of investment in human capital whereby leisure time is dedicated to the improvement of knowledge and skills that have economic value and contribute to increased productivity. Starting from modern processes of globalisation and Europeanisation and especially in the context of internalisation in higher education, this paper deals with the issue of summer schools. Besides the key features of summer schools and their contribution to economic development that can be used to explain their increasing importance in developed countries, this paper presents the results of research that indicate a significant discrepancy between Croatian and world educational practice. Despite certain shifts, desk research – research of thematic databases and Internet sites of higher education institutions, reveals that international summer schools in Croatia aimed at student population are not a widespread phenomenon, especially at the level of colleges of applied sciences. Based on this, the paper concludes by determining the opportunities for the active participation of colleges of applied sciences in the summer schools’ programmes offer.
