Building Knowledge and Experience Exchange in CFD

Network coordinators after a meeting

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analyses and solves problems that involve flows like gases or liquids.

Computers are used to simulate a model that shows how these fluids flow and interact with the surfaces and solids of the model. CFD is used to pre-engineer complex areas where the right temperatures and flows are critical factors. It is a very powerful tool that shows in advance how temperature, pressure and velocity are going to behave in a design. This Network with established contacts between scientists who deal with CFD, offers exchange of information, knowledge and experience and the participation of common research projects and other activities. It organizes lectures, seminars, summer courses and scientific conferences and workshops. Special emphasize is also on the usage of laboratory equipment of the partners within the network. Mobilities are planned for undergraduates, graduates as well as for teachers. Additionally, 6 of the partner institutes in 5 different CEEPUS member countries offer two different Joint PhDs.

Green Hackathon - a CEEPUS intensive course

© Lazar Pavic

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.

What our scholars have to say

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.

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.

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.
