Healthcare communication - an interdisciplinary necessity

At some point in our lives, we are all likely to be affected by a health condition. In such vulnerable moments, satisfactory and empathetic health-related information is essential. As the first network of its kind within CEEPUS, this professionells provide an exploration of healthcare communication across multiple languages and cultures as an emerging interprofessional academic field. It unites linguists, instructors, researchers, healthcare professionals and students, fostering intercultural and interdisciplinary approaches to healthcare communication. Through instruction and research in medical terminology, translation, interpreting, and languages for specific purposes, it builds patient-centred communication skills. Interregional mobilities enable the exchange of knowledge, resources, and digital tools, enhancing educational and professional development, and ultimately and patients' well-being and satisfaction.

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.

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.

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.
