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, 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.

Milica Stankovic, PhD

Professor from Nis, Serbia

During my stay in Ljubljana, I had the opportunity to give lectures in the area of Circular Economy and global challenges. The multidisciplinarity of the topic contributed to a great result and an excellent discussion with students from study fields of biology, biotechnology, environmental protection and food technology on the topic of the circular economy. I am sure that this CEEPUS teaching mobility is the first step towards a future successful cooperation.

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.
