Registration
Fill in the online registration questionnaire https://www.1ka.si/a/f5a9d18e with a proposal for a sub-theme, so that each partner can choose up to three topics of their interest.
Short presentations by up to two researchers from each partner university (up to 10-15 minutes per presentation) in which they would present their research in the area of the event's theme. Researchers should submit their topic proposals and an abstract by 1st February 2023 and presentations by 20th February 2023. As one of the objectives of the conferences is interdisciplinarity in research on SmUCS, we suggest that each presentation emphasize its significance for research.
Registration for participants who wish to observe the event is open until Friday, 24 February 2023.
