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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
