Agriculture and Environment in the 21st Century - @groen

Traditional sheep farm, Zlatna Greda, Croatia

Agriculture as a business venture with ecological responsibilities, has to become a core driver from a fossil- towards a renewable resources-based economy. Core concept is the implementation of bioeconomy, the knowledge-based production and use of biological resources in all sectors.

Improving the quality of life and environment in Europe is one of the most important issues at the beginning of the 21st century. Recently, more and more emphasis has been placed on agriculture as a business venture with ecological ramifications. One upcoming target for agriculture is the implementation of a renewable resources-based economy, named Bioeconomy. Implementing this knowledge-based production and the use of biological resources for products, processes and services in all sectors is a key aspect for a sustainable future economy. The @groen cooperation, which was established in 1998, focuses on agriculture and environmental protection. The network fulfils this objective at several main areas: high quality agricultural production (in animal husbandry, plant growing, fishery and forestry), green and environmentally friendly technologies, environment conservation, natural resources management and utilization of advanced information and communication technologies. Through the benefits and opportunities offered by CEEPUS, the 21 partner universities can undertake low-cost cooperation, exchange professionals and consult in curricular areas to the safeguarding of their own interests.

Ars Techne: Creative Design and Innovation

Ministerial Awards ceremony in Zagreb, 2019

Ars- techne is a network coordinated by the University of Maribor, that plays an important role in the field of textile education.

An important and visible achievement of the network is a series of international CEEPUS Winter Schools, known as Design Week. Their aim was to cover the whole spectrum of modern engineering design of clothing and/or other textile forms in the broadest sense, including the closely related areas, such as: Art, colour/light theory, fashion theory, photography, wearable computer technology, smart and intelligent clothing, ergonomics of the thermal environment and innovativeness. The aim of an interdisciplinary concept of the Winter Schools is the interaction of different disciplines, the combination of scientific and artistic disciplines and the connection of the creativity of students from different universities and from various countries. Within the framework of the lectures and a wide range of targeted Workshops, the students dealt with the theoretical and practical aspects of design in the broadest sense. The network won the CEEPUS Ministers' Prize of Excellence 2019.

What our scholars have to say

Prof. Jelka Gersak

Professor and network coordinator, Ljubljana

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.

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.”
