Network Application Round 26/27: 156 applications

We have received 156 network applications for this year´s deadline, a record high for the fourth consecutive year. This not only reflects the significant interest but also underscores the commitment to exchange within our CEEPUS region.

Featured Cooperations

Modeling, Simulation and Computer-aided design in Engineering and Management

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/

In today's rapidly changing world, it is crucial to comprehend how (human) cognition functions and how it interacts with the ever-changing technological and societal environments.

We are at the forefront of exploring the fascinating interplay between cognitive systems and their engagement with the world, be it social, creative, cultural, technological, or otherwise. Our network aims at exploring how these components influence and shape each another by jointly doing research, teaching, and applying insights in/from the fields of cognitive science, knowledge studies/technologies, and innovation.

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.
