The CEEPUS Summer School 2026, held from 16–22 June 2026 at BOKU University in Vienna, successfully brought together academics, researchers, and students from partner universities across the CEEPUS network to strengthen international collaboration in sustainable energy, environmental engineering, and innovative technologies.

During the opening session, welcome addresses were delivered by Prof. Christoph Pfeifer, vice rector for research and innovation, and Prof. Tobias Pröll, head of the institute of chemical and energy engineering (IVET). Prof. Pröll introduced the institute's research infrastructure, advanced laboratory facilities, and ongoing research activities in the fields of chemical and energy engineering. He also highlighted the expertise of the Institute's multidisciplinary research teams and their contributions to addressing current challenges in sustainable energy systems, process engineering, and industrial innovation.

Adding to the programme, CEEPUS network coordinators Prof. Siniša Bikic and Assoc. Prof. Rafat Al Afif presented on the role of CEEPUS in fostering academic mobility and research partnerships. Dr. Andreas H. Melcher, director of the cluster for development research (CDR), also introduced BOKU University's contributions to sustainable development research.

The opening day concluded with a keynote lecture by Prof. Zoltán Kovács, scientific and international vice rector of the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences (MATE), who presented recent advances in innovative food safety technologies, data-driven monitoring, and advanced sensing systems.

Over the course of the week, more than 81 participants from 15 Universities and 7 countries engaged in lectures, technical discussions, laboratory activities, and networking opportunities, reinforcing the summer school's mission of promoting scientific excellence, knowledge exchange, and long-term international cooperation.

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

Network coordination Meeting in Sofia, 2025 © Prof. Galia Marinova, Technical University of Sofia

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/

What our scholars have to say
Nicholas Chang
Exchange student in Szeged
The very warm welcome that I was received by at the faculty, as well as by the National CEEPUS Office, made me feel like an important guest and not just a number.
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.
