In today's rapidly changing world, it is crucial to comprehend how (human) cognition functions and how it interacts with the ever-changing technological and societal environments.

We are at the forefront of exploring the fascinating interplay between cognitive systems and their engagement with the world, be it social, creative, cultural, technological, or otherwise. Our network aims at exploring how these components influence and shape each another by jointly doing research, teaching, and applying insights in/from the fields of cognitive science, knowledge studies/technologies, and innovation.

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.

Iva Vujovic

Exchange student in Vienna

I learned a lot from some professors about topics that aren't really talked about much in my home University. And even when we do mention them, it's more theoretical and harder to understand than it is through practical learning, which we did in Vienna.

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.”
