Social work and social policy education has always provided important contribution to societies. By producing professionals that are equipped for interventions that affect social welfare, social justice and social rights, we help to empower citizens to overcome social risks and social problems.

Given the large amount of pressing social needs and the limited amount of resources, there are benefits from uniting forces across neighboring countries and creating regional capacities for training and research in social work and social policy. Therefore, our main idea and goal is and was to build up on previously existing cooperation practices in the region (i.e. among ex-Yugoslav countries) and extend this links with new partners in Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary. We established academic alliances among universities several years ago that can nurture, promote and advance the regional social work, social policy research and teaching methods.

Cognitive Science, Knowledge Studies, and Knowledge Technologies

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.

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.
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.
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.
