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.

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.

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.

Georgi Mladenov

Working on his master thesis in Sorpon (HU)

“My CEEPUS exchange exceeded my expectations. I managed to progress a lot with my thesis and to acquire new skills in the field of mathematics. I made great contacts both with lectures and students. I hope to welcome my colleagues from the University of Sopron in Ruse (BG) next semester.”

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.
