Tuesday, 28 May 2024 T4EU WEEK AT THE UP ENDED
The University of Primorska, in cooperation with the University of Trieste, organised the first T4EU Week (Transform4Europe Week: Beyond Borders), in the new series of European University Transform4Europe Weeks, from 20 to 24 May 2024.
On the first day, 20 May, the World Bee Day proposed by Slovenia, UP and UNITS welcomed the participants with special gifts - Slovenian honey prepared by UP, produced by our employees, and UNITS coffee. In this way, they showed the special nature of the surroundings with their cuisine and presented the guests with sustainable gifts.
The first part of the programme then took place in Trieste from 19 to 22 May, followed by a visit to UP, Koper and Izola from Wednesday 22 to 24 May. The programme was divided into break-out sessions dealing with the importance of entrepreneurial skills and the environmental, digital and social transition.

several events aimed at the general public took place. In this context, particularly in the context of the Research section: Open Science, Fair Data and Creative Commons, Pecha Kucha and Bridging Communities: Dialogue and Action for Inclusive Futures. Of particular importance was the satellite conference of the Rectors' Conference of the RS on Friday on the Internationalisation of higher education and the role of European universities in this process.
The T4EU week is also a great opportunity for networking and making new contacts among the participants. This was evident at the dinners and lunches as well as during the SportUP activities on the beaches of Koper, the social activities organised by ESN Primorska, a morning literary walk, a healthy breakfast and other activities.
On the occasion of the T4EU week, the InnoRenew CoE research institute also installed special benches on the terrace next to the Rectorate - the wood for them was sourced from known locations in Slovenian forests, and the design and production was done entirely in cooperation with the institute and UP maintenance staff. The Institute has also prepared a special baton that will accompany the weeks across Europe, as each university will hang a leaflet on the wooden tree and pass it on after the organised week. We look forward to continuing to go beyond borders and extend our strong European commitment to partners who want to change the environment for a better future.
