MedILS provides classes for students of the Independent Studies in Communication and Media at the University of Split, as well as for students of the Displaced Study of Speech Therapy in Split at the Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation of the University of Zagreb. This actively contributes to higher education and the connection of scientific research work with the teaching process. MedILS was founded in 2003 on the initiative of Prof. Dr. sc. Miroslav Radman and Prof. Dr. sc. Marija Alačević as an independent, international scientific research institute. Since its inception, the Institute has been dedicated to introducing the best mechanisms and practices for creating a stimulating and high-quality scientific environment. Such an approach has enabled the gathering and development of exceptional international and domestic scientists and the positioning of MedILS as a recognizable center of scientific excellence.
