This September, the University of Primorska welcomes young researchers and PhD students in the field of heritage from the Transform4Europe alliance to take part in an engaging two-day Matchmaking Event designed to spark collaboration and new ideas.
Topic: Heritage – Research and practices in a rapidly changing world
When: September 4th to 5th
Location: Koper, Slovenia
Registration: Interested participants need to apply via their home university, which will handle the selection process.
Centered on heritage and heritage sciences, the event aims to ignite fresh perspectives, bold dialogue, and dynamic interdisciplinary connections under the theme “Heritage – Research and Practices in a Rapidly Changing World.” Participants will showcase their research and forward-thinking ideas in a dedicated pitch session, seeking common cultural threads, values, and visions with peers from across the Transform4Europe alliance.
These connections will evolve into tangible collaboration concepts through the interactive “Idea Wall,” where participants will contribute keywords, project ideas, and their aspirations for future initiatives. This unique opportunity is designed to spark long-lasting research networks—beginning in Koper and continuing through academic mobility, joint projects, and ongoing exchange well into the future.
Aims:
- to bring together young researchers and PhD students who work in the general field of heritage and heritage sciences
- to establish dialogue between representatives of different scholarly disciplines focusing on the proposed field
- to create conditions for academic staff and students from the T4EU Alliance universities to get to know each other’s work better
- to create conditions for academic staff and students from the T4EU Alliance universities to form interdisciplinary teams and work on ideas about future joint endeavours
