The conference, for the first time, had an organising committee made up of students from the three Croatian study programs that take turns in hosting the event. An advisory committee was also formed, comprised of university teachers from all three programs. 

As the conference was organised during the pandemic, it was (for the first time) held online, on Zoom. All presentations were recorded, and the recordings were later published on the Conference YouTube channel and on this website. (The Conference YouTube channel was launched!)

For the first time, students outside of Europe participated in the event (Canada, USA, Taiwan).
