University Representatives and the SMILE Project Team at the CEPSA Anniversary Conference
The prestigious two-day conference organized to mark the 30th anniversary of the Central European Political Science Association (CEPSA) welcomed academics and scholars from all around Europe and the world. This significant event, which is a living proof of successful cross-border academic cooperation, offered a rich program full of panel discussions and round tables on various socioeconomic and political academic papers.Our university had a remarkably strong representation at the event. The conference was attended by the Head of the Department of Political Science and Anglophone Studies and member of the CEPSA Executive Committee, Dr. Petr Just.
The gathering, held under the motto "30 YEARS, 1 COMMUNITY", also became an important platform for our partners from the SMILE Incubator. Our university team was proud to host a round table event where listeners could tune in to the latest and greatest from the SMILE project. The expert panel specifically focused on our past findings, valuable research, and analyses. The successful discussion solidified our spirit as a team and clearly confirmed that we are on the right path to our main goal – empowering rural youth!

SMILE goes on... smile with us! :)
