Featured Cooperations

Central European Social Policy and Social Work Network (CESPASWON)

Social work and social policy education has always provided important contribution to societies. By producing professionals that are equipped for interventions that affect social welfare, social justice and social rights, we help to empower citizens to overcome social risks and social problems.

Given the large amount of pressing social needs and the limited amount of resources, there are benefits from uniting forces across neighboring countries and creating regional capacities for training and research in social work and social policy. Therefore, our main idea and goal is and was to build up on previously existing cooperation practices in the region (i.e. among ex-Yugoslav countries) and extend this links with new partners in Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary. We established academic alliances among universities several years ago that can nurture, promote and advance the regional social work, social policy research and teaching methods.

Network-Collaboration: Implementation of mathematical models and simulation tools to design engineering and management systems and forecast their dynamics!

The studies and classes in the network are interdisciplinary, to better reflect the complexity of real systems. Recent projects of the network are focused on the development of digital twins – complex models of real word systems, co-existing and interacting bidirectionally. The network organizes flexible courses, summer schools and academia, integrates silent partners from industry and supports a joint doctoral program. The network management is supported by a specifically designed e-management platform IMA-NET: https://ima-net.ubt-uni.net/ . The network site can be accessed at: https://ceepusmodcad.ubt-uni.net/

What our scholars have to say

Nejc Podkoritnik

Student at the University of Maribor

As a student, participating in the Green Hackathon - an CEEPUS intensive course - was an invaluable experience. We were given the chance to take the lead and manage an international project from start to finish.

Iva Vujovic

Exchange student in Vienna

I learned a lot from some professors about topics that aren't really talked about much in my home University. And even when we do mention them, it's more theoretical and harder to understand than it is through practical learning, which we did in Vienna.

Prof. Jelka Gersak

Professor and network coordinator, Maribor

It is important to point out that the activities that have taken place in the framework of student mobility, especially of PhD students, do not end with the end of the mobility, but remain as an important link, in the framework of joint scientific articles and publications in co-authorship.
