The Zagreb School of Slavic Studies (a Croatian seminar for foreign Slavic studies students) is a special activity organised by the Department of Croatian Language and Literature at the University of Zagreb's Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The school was launched in 1972 with the intent of promoting knowledge of Croatian language, literature, and culture, mostly to foreign students of Croatian or other Slavic languages, as well as among scientists and teaching staff at foreign universities. The school's central activity involves organising a yearly seminar offering attendees Croatian language studies content, lectureships and proseminars, translating workshops, themed lecture cycles, and cultural events. From 1972 to 1990, the Zagreb School of Slavic Studies held seminars in Dubrovnik and Zagreb (seminars 1-19), in 1991 in Zagreb (seminar 20), and from 1992 to 1998 in Pula (seminar 21-27). Since 1999, the yearly Croatian seminar for foreign Slavic studies students is held in Dubrovnik.
