Healthcare communication: scientific knowledge exchange across disciplines and borders

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.

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.

What our scholars have to say
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.
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.
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.
