Presentation of the University of Rijeka

The University of Rijeka is the second oldest in Croatia with uninterrupted activity. The modern University was established in 1973, continuing the tradition of the Jesuit collegium of 1632. The University is composed of nine faculties, an academy and a number of other organizations.

Flag of the University of Rijeka

The symbols of the University of Rijeka are prescribed in Article 11 of the University Statutes, Statut Sveučilišta u Rijeci (pročišćeni tekst), last amended on 10 December 2008 (text).
The flag is in proportions 1:2, light blue with the "arms" half the flag width in diameter. In practice, almost exclusively flags with Croatian inscriptions are used.
The "arms" of the University are circular, with a stylized depiction synthesizing several symbols: a double letter "R", an owl, a Glagolitic letter "S", but also recalling a mooring bollard (bit) and an anvil; and a stylized sea below. Surrounding it is the name in Croatian or Latin. The central symbol is prescribed to be golden-yellow on dark blue background; the outline and the text are prescribed to be dark blue with a light blue background.
