Wednesday, 1 March 2023 EXPLORING INTERNATIONALISATION AND RESEARCH COLLABORATION: UNIVERSITY OF PRIMORSKA HOSTS THE UNIVERSITY OF SILESIA DELEGATION

The University of Primorska (UP) welcomed a delegation from the University of Silesia to explore opportunities for internationalisation and research collaboration. The UP Sector for Internationalisation and Project Office hosted the delegation for two days to discuss approaches to internationalisation, project support and the researcher’s view.

On Tuesday, the delegation was welcomed and given a general presentation of UP and its internationalisation and science communication. This was followed by an introduction to general approaches to internationalisation and supporting research. The delegation then heard about central support mechanisms for international students and general approaches to project support, and visited Science Center UP – Aquarium Piran. Finally, they learned about integration into the environment, with a focus on Slovene language learning.

The next day, the delegation met with a research group and heard about faculty support mechanisms at UP FAMNIT and UP FVZ. They also explored UP FM Study Affairs and technological transfer at the Center of Knowledge Development & Transfer, at InnoRenew. The day concluded with a tour and an introduction to research institute InnoRenew CoE.

The visit from the University of Silesia was a great success, providing an opportunity for both universities to discuss approaches to internationalisation and research collaboration. UP looks forward to future collaboration.
