TRANSFORM4EUROPE
Ten European universities have joined forces to educate people responsible for their environments, equipped with the state-of-the-art knowledge, which enables them to face the most important civilisation challenges - climate change, global digitalisation, social challenges, such as migration flows or society ageing, not to mention the pandemic reality, are processes, the effects of which we are experiencing here and now and which require immediate action, based on expert knowledge. Transform4Europe aims at educating new generations of highly skilled European knowledge entrepreneurs, who will be capable of working out responses to these social, economic and environmental phenomena. It is thanks to Transform4Europe universities’ complementary research foci that the alliance has the capacity to concentrate the joint collaboration efforts on the following prioritised focus topics:
Knowledge entrepreneurialism for:
• Digital transformation and smart regions
• Environmental transformation and sustainability
• Societal transformation, community building and inclusion
In accordance with the EU higher education policies, the T4EU approach is completed by the following transversal components:
- Key competences for lifelong learning
- Digital literacy, green skills, multilingualism and intercultural competencies
- Common European values and inclusiveness
- Entrepreneurial culture and mindset
The realisation of the alliance’s objectives is carried out through a series of versatile undertakings such as joint development of strategic documents and educational formats for university communities including students, PhD students, academic and administrative staff and regional stakeholders (i.a. courses, lectures, seminars, conferences, workshops, competitions), initiating bilateral and multilateral didactic and research cooperation as well as communication measures (website, social media, presence at international educational fairs) and dissemination of project results.

This lecture course offers a topographical survey of U.S.-American literature by focusing on the importance of various sites and places that have gained prominence in the formation of a specifically American literature (especially New England and the South). While the focus will be on early American literature, we will also look into the tradition of local color in the late 19th century. We will start the course by tracing American literature to its Puritan beginnings, focusing on the spiritual autobiography and the Indian captivity narrative. We will also focus on the Southern colonies and analyze the writings by Captain John Smith and William Byrd. In the 19th century we will look at emergence of regional literature, the main New England texts of the American Renaissance and the local color literature of both New England and the South.
Course Readings: There will be a course reader, which will be made available on Teams.

This class will investigate representations of borders and border crossings in (US-) American film and media, especially representations of US-Mexican borderlands. Students will be familiarized with selected theoretical readings to help them critically analyze our corpus mainly consisting of films and selected examples from TV series and other media forms. Focusing on the analysis of representations of borders, border conflicts and border crossings, we will investigate in how far intersections of race, class, gender and other factors are connected to dominant/ hegemonic discourses or counter-narratives and how (US) American media include or exclude / represent or misrepresent certain groups. We will investigate how media productions are shaped by current discourses in society while they at the same time add to these discourses. Our corpus will include, among others, the movies No Country for Old Men (2007, dir. Joel and Ethan Coen), The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005, dir. Tommy Lee Jones, written by Guillermo Arriaga) and Babel (2006, dir. Alejandro González Iñárritu, written Guillermo Arriaga).

2024 is the year of elections. In June, the European Union elected the European Parliament, resulting in a shift further right. Further local, regional, and national elections will follow in the summer and the fall. Particularly the elections in the United Kingdom in July and in the United States in November are being awaited anxiously. Political communication traditionally offers a rich pool of linguistic material for analysis, ranging from political speeches to election campaigns, posters, and videos, and much more. However, soci(et)al issues and debates are not only fought out and negotiated in the realm of professional politics; people also take to the streets to voice protest and draw the public attention to urgent matters. Furthermore, the internet and particularly social media offer an easily accessible and handable outlet where people can publicly share their opinions.
Saarland University Germany
This seminar is designed as an introduction to Critical Digital Discourse Analysis or Critical Digital Discourse Studies in the field of linguistics. As such, at the core of this course is the critical study of discourse. Particular focus is placed on how language and other semiotic resources are used, particularly in social and digital media and with the help of AI, to (re)produce power relations and convey ideological convictions in today’s society.
In this seminar, students will learn the basic terminology and main approaches of critical discourse studies with a focus on politics and activism. We will explore how tools from critical discourse analysis can be implemented to make sense of the multimodal discursive practices in politics and activism and to reveal the discursive sources of power, dominance, inequality, and bias. We will consider language as a social practice and investigate language use as both socially shaped and also socially shaping. We will also focus on the exploration of the positioning and negotiation of categories, such as race, class, and gender, as well as on the role of today’s digital media and AI in shaping and re-producing political discourses.

In the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the issues of borders and territories have become particularly important for Ukraine. The purpose of this course is to present and discuss selected literary and artistic reflections on these issues in the work of Ukrainian artists. During the lectures and seminars, we will examine works representing Ukraine’s frontier discourse and its relations with neighboring countries that included certain parts of Ukraine’s current territory at different times. Using the concepts of border aesthetics, you will learn about the creation of Ukraine’s cultural subjectivity in Europe, particularly in Germany, after World War II. Finally, you will gain insight into contemporary artistic interpretations of the theme of borders that imply transregional perspectives and diverse intercultural dialogues.

This course looks at literary and cinematic texts to examine how these texts narrate the encounter between refuges and the sea. Drawing on a handful of secondary material, we will attempt to unpack the political and aesthetic meanings attached to maritime crossings, the ways these narratives engage with legal and affective archives, with the politics of Fortress Europe, but also with the sea as a watery space whose properties both enable and disable the passages in question.
We will therefore look also at how these cultural texts represent the materiality of seawater and the ways refugees inhabit and make use of this highly volatile realm to navigate not only the sea itself but also the bordering practices Europe deploys as it relies on the properties of seawater to enforce borders in places where there are none.

Our society faces challenges of a magnitude and variety rarely seen before. New technologies, pollution, migration patterns, to just name a few, result in increasing pressure to transform present business models, structures and processes to meet these challenges. Within the disciplines’ innovation management and entrepreneurship, many strategies and instruments were developed to design products, services, processes and structures to realize novel ideas and enable change. Still, in the face of ecological, social and digital transformation, the respective models and instruments appear to fall short in enacting change, appropriate to the speed and significance of our challenges. One answer for the call of an adapted approach is knowledge entrepreneurship. The new concept aims to empower individuals to seek and implement transformational change. The lecture introduces state of the art innovation adoption models and innovation barriers. Subsequently, participants learn more about the concept of knowledge entrepreneurship and several strategies, which are developed and tested for the purpose of striving for transformation, are scrutinized.

overview:
Whether generators of wealth and well-being or of huge damage and health threats, microorganisms play a central role in our society. Microorganisms can spoil food, interfere with income or even disrupt industrial processes and cause disease or even kill. But they can also remove environmental pollutants, produce fermented products with excellent organoleptic and nutritional properties, create antibiotics, or even allow us to study the origin of life.
As knowledge about the diversity and activity of the microorganisms that share the planet with us increases, we become more aware of how important it is to be able to detect and control these organisms. For this very reason, Microbiology ends up crossing paths with different professional activities in the fields of health, industry, services, agriculture, scientific research, and entrepreneurship.

degree programme: Anthropology
academic (UP FHŠ) - Double-discipline study
overview:
The programme is based on social and cultural-anthropological knowledge about society and culture, which is understood primarily as a form of human behaviour in interaction with other people. Anthropology includes knowledge about the past and modern way of life of various social groups, their forms of organization, structures, systems and various processes (cultural adaptation, assimilation, etc. ). As a comparative discipline, it is also interdisciplinary as it connects with the study of migration and changed spaces, habits, identities and behavioural practices. It responds to the events of the modern world in various socio-historical environments: in the “Slovenian ethnic territory“, in the Mediterranean (Istria), in Europe, and from other continents, especially through research on indigenous peoples in America. Students get acquainted with fieldwork and participate in various research projects. The basic support for the study is the skills of anthropological research work, which moves between cabinet work and field research, from participatory observation, interviews and other techniques important for understanding the socio-political and economic processes of the modern and past world.
admission criteria:
Admission to the first year of double-discipline study programme Anthropology shall be granted to the candidates who have:
• passed the vocational matura in one of the four-year secondary-school programmes that is classified in (KLASIUS-P-16 classification: broad area 03; or FORD classification: area 5; or ARRS classification: area 6; or CERIF classification: areas H or S) and also passed a final examination in one of the general matura subjects: Geography, Sociology, History, Economy, Psychology, Art History, German, Italian, Latin, History and Theory of Theater and Film; the selected subject cannot be the same as the subject passed in the framework of the vocational matura;
• successfully completed any four-year secondary-school programme before 1 June 1995.

The Cultural Heritage study program is the only one in Slovenia that offers a comprehensive understanding of heritage and is not limited to looking at a single feature. The course fills the professional field of preservation, protection, promotion, development and marketing of cultural heritage. At a time when we emphasize interdisciplinarity, the integration of diversity, cultural and regional diversity, and the richness of the heritage of the environment in which we live, as well as the principles of sustainable development, the study of cultural heritage offers the real challenges of modern times and new employment opportunities. The programme provides an introduction to cultural heritage in the broadest sense and familiarizes students with the main laws of heritage protection and its importance for modern life. It offers students an introduction to tangible and intangible cultural heritage and an interdisciplinary perspective on the professional maintenance and preservation of cultural heritage. In terms of content, it is designed as an interweaving of archaeology, art history, ethnology, architecture and history.
An important part of the study is practical and field work, professional excursions, which directly confront students with problems, projects and the situation in the field of heritage, exchange of experiences, opinions and views on many issues. Students acquire knowledge of the processes of documentation, administrative management and professional processing of all areas of heritage, which enables them to be employed in regional and national public institutions, state administrations, heritage marketing and promotion institutions, media editorial offices and promotion agencies in the field of heritage and tourism. Graduates can continue their studies in postgraduate study programs.

degree programme: Bioinformatics
academic (UP FAMNIT)
overview:
At the beginning of the third millennium, modern technologies as applied to the natural sciences and quality of life present especially great challenges. The rapid growth of various biological data which is stored in databases and is suitable for computer management and analysis has created the need for experts who have mastered techniques in the areas of mathematics and computer and information sciences. In addition, boundaries between the various profiles of natural scientists (biologists, chemists and physicists) are becoming increasingly blurred, and therefore the various tools used in bioinformatics have become invaluable. A classically trained biologist is normally unfamiliar with statistics and is not skilled in computer science; however these skills will be increasingly demanded in this work environment. A classically trained mathematician or computer scientist, on the other hand, does not have the knowledge of biology and chemistry required for a career in bioinformatics.
admission criteria:
Admission to the first year of study shall be granted to applicants having:
• passed the matura examination; or the vocational matura examination in a 4-year secondary-school programme and a final examination in a general matura subject; the selected subject cannot be the same as one of the subjects passed in the framework of the vocational matura;
• successfully completed any four-year secondary-school programme before 1 June 1995.
In the case of enrolment limitations, applicants shall be selected on other additional criteria, please consult programme web page.

Computer Science
academic (UP FAMNIT)
overview:
The study programme closely combines the fields of Computer Science and Mathematics. It relies on a strong theoretical basis that serves as a prerequisite for the establishment of an effective computer science programme. In the following decade, major challenges will be posed in the integration of various scientific disciplines, and Mathematics (as a universal language of science) and Computer Science (as a field gaining ground in ever more optimal exploitation of the richness of this language) are poised to play a leading role in this area. The study programme, moreover, places special emphasis on cultivating this connection by building on theory with practice, motivating students to apply practical solutions in problem solving. This aspect of the programme is particularly brought to the forefront in the last pillar of the courses – skills.The close interaction between Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science contributes greatly to the quality of the study programme by enhancing an understanding of both the basics of Computer Science and of research topics arising from newly emerging areas of Computer Science.
admission criteria:
Admission to the first year of study shall be granted to applicants having:
• passed the matura examination; or passed the vocational matura examination in a 4-year secondary-school programme and a final examination in one of the general matura subjects: Mathematics, Computer Science or Information Technology; insofar as the aforementioned subject has already been taken within the framework of the vocational matura examination, applicants must pass any other general matura subject; the selected subject cannot be the same as one of the subjects passed in the framework of the vocational matura;
• successfully completed any four-year secondary-school programme before 1 June 1995.

Along the way, students will learn a set of computer skills and the basics of probability theory. Within the labour market for the financial sector, the latter represents an important advantage for mathematics students versus students who come from management-/economy-oriented studies. Moreover, the computer-oriented courses, along with computer-oriented ways of thinking that an individual develops while studying mathematics, provide a good foundation for employment in programming and related companies. The larger part of the study programme represents elective courses where students learn about various specific areas of pure and applied mathematics. An optional part of the curriculum also has an interdisciplinary outline, which means that students can choose courses where the natural sciences (especially biology and biochemistry) combine with computer science and mathematics. Since virtually every science (at the research level) significantly relies on mathematics, mathematics undergraduate studies are also suitable for those who will later shift to other sciences. Proof of this are the numerous personnel in the college who chose this path in pursuing their careers.
Scientific excellence and international integration among our professors allows students to fully pursue their study and research ambitions; inter alia, one of the four global leading research centres for algebraic graph theory operates at UP FAMNIT.

degree programme:
Mathematical Sciences
(UP FAMNIT)
overview:
The study programme is primarily intended for prospective researchers, professors and other academic staff. Each student has a supervisor, who is ordinarily selected before the student’s enrolment. One of the key roles of the supervisor is to present a relevant open problem (or open problems) to the student. While the student is trying to solve the problem (or problems), the supervisor helps, informs the student of similar problems already solved and introduces appropriate techniques from relevant mathematical fields. The solution to these open problems and its publication in the relevant international journals must be a primary goal of each student.
The aim of the programme is to encourage students to do the research, and not to burden them with course exams that are not directly related to their research area (the latter is probably a special feature among Slovenian universities). Faculty members are aware of the fact that nowadays Ph.D. students must have some research results immediately after finishing their studies if they want to stay in academia – whether that be abroad or at home. During their studies, Ph.D. students usually attend various international conferences and conduct research visits, where they present their research results. Often they are involved in the organization of the conferences, summer schools, etc., organized by the Faculty or UP IAM, which is directly connected with the faculty. To a lesser extent, students are also involved in teaching students at lower levels.
