Date of publication:
ECOTOPIA Summer School (ECOTOPIA Summer School) The Educational and Research Network for the Development of Short-term Mobility Programmes (EUOTOPIA), which took place for the first time this summer at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Ljubljana (UL EF), was selected as one of the EUTOPIA affiliated communities. Participation in the EUTOPIA Affiliated Communities is an important step towards internationalisation for the University of Ljubljana (UL), as it allows for the pooling of teaching and research between partner universities.
At the Ecotopia Summer School, students explored the meaning of the circular economy and developed business ideas based on this concept, with the support of national and international professors and external experts. Participation in the associated communities will allow the ECOTOPIA Summer School to be further developed over the next three years, with new activities added. UL students will have the opportunity to explore topics such as the future of economics, to collaborate with their peers and with experts from other universities.
TjaĊĦa Redek, Head of the Connected Community, emphasised: "We at the Faculty of Economics are delighted that the Ecotopia Summer School has been accepted as one of the Connected Communities. The Faculty of Economics is working hard to consolidate its position as one of the leading educational institutions in the field of business and economics through a variety of projects. This project represents an opportunity for further development and cooperation with other excellent educational institutions, both within EUTOPIA and more widely, in an area that is crucial for the future of Europe and the world, and where only cooperation and addressing young people can lead to urgently needed solutions."
