Green Hackathon - a CEEPUS intensive course

The first short-term intensive course "Green Hackathon" took place in June 2025 at the Faculty of Logistics, University of Maribor in Celje, Slovenia.

This international competition brought together students from multiple countries to develop innovative solutions for a greener future in food supply chains. Over the course of three dynamic and intensive days, the faculty became a vibrant hub of ideas, collaboration, and innovation, where more than 60 participants—organized into interdisciplinary teams—demonstrated how young people can actively contribute to a more sustainable future through networking and creativity. The event was organized within the framework of the CEEPUS network #TASA – Tourism and Agriculture Sustainable Alliances, coordinated by the Department of Sustainable Logistics and Mobility at the Faculty of Logistics, University of Maribor. Thanks to this collaboration, 12 local students were joined by 36 international students and 7 mentors from Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, and Serbia. What made the event especially meaningful was that the students—supported by their mentors—designed and implemented the hackathon entirely on their own, showcasing their initiative, creativity, and commitment to sustainability and international cooperation.

Development of mechanical engineering (design, technology and production management)

Every year CEEPUS is awarding a network of outstanding quality, awarded by the Joint Committee of Ministers. Through an external panel of experts, using various evaluation criteria, CEEPUS determines the best of many great networks. 2025 experts selected the network : "Development of mechanical engineering (design, technology and production management) as an essential base for progress in the area of small and medium companies’ logistics - research, preparation and implementation of joint programs of study in the aspect of Industry 4.0.” This network is coordinated by Prof. Stanislaw Legutko, Poznan University of Technology, Institute of Mechanical Technology, who does his excellent job together with his 32 partners. Small and medium industrial companies (SMC), according to the opinion of many experts, are the base of developing countries’ economies. It concerns especially the economy of Central Europe countries, which formerly had nonmarket economy. Development of the mentioned industrial enterprises nowadays depends on the proper level of mechanical engineering (design, manufacturing engineering and production management) and on proper logistics. Therefore, the aim of the network with 32 partners is to utilize experiences and knowledge of partner institutions and information exchange between the partners. The investigations carried out in the framework of the network will concern the design of machines, their technology, production management and industrial logistics, also in the aspect of Industry 4.0 including some special domains.

What our scholars have to say
Georgi Mladenov
Working on his master thesis in Sorpon (HU)
“My CEEPUS exchange exceeded my expectations. I managed to progress a lot with my thesis and to acquire new skills in the field of mathematics. I made great contacts both with lectures and students. I hope to welcome my colleagues from the University of Sopron in Ruse (BG) next semester.”
Milica Stankovic, PhD
Professor from Nis, Serbia
During my stay in Ljubljana, I had the opportunity to give lectures in the area of Circular Economy and global challenges. The multidisciplinarity of the topic contributed to a great result and an excellent discussion with students from study fields of biology, biotechnology, environmental protection and food technology on the topic of the circular economy. I am sure that this CEEPUS teaching mobility is the first step towards a future successful cooperation.
Dr. Gabriella Vöő
Exchange teacher in Olomouc
There was a large student turnout, the students were interested and they participated in the discussions. I had conversations with colleagues about academic and administrative matters and we also discussed possibilities for joint research projects in the future.
