  • Balkan Case Challenge Is More Than Just an Ordinary Challenge
    The Balkan Case Challenge is more than just an ordinary challenge. It is a truly commendable experience which provides young people with a wide range of opportunities for networking, personal growth and development. During the event I got the chance to cooperate with and learn from highly qualified young people from different backgrounds, improve my teamwork skills and work on an inspiring case, and at the same time enjoy the lovely city of Vienna. Irena Efremovska, Macedonia, BIZ participant 2010 The very fi rst moments of the Balkan Case Challenge made it clear that we were here for a common goal: bringing us and our countries closer together. I have not only gained a lot of professional experience but also found friends from all over South-Eastern Europe. Thomas Moik, Austria, LMC participant 2009 The BCC makes a difference, not only for the participants who defi nitely make new friends and in the best case also get a job through the BCC, but also for the organizers. Veronika Nitsche, WUS Austria The BCC is an important and constructive contribution, since without support for education, it is impossible to propel a transformation for peace and economic and social stability. Through education, we observe our responsibility for Europe and the future.

  • A Comparative Study of Post-Ottoman Political Influences on Bulgarian National Identity Construction and Conflict
    A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF POST-OTTOMAN POLITICAL INFLUENCES ON BULGARIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION AND CONFLICT BY Copyright 2008 SPENCER S. STITH Submitted to the graduate degree program in International Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master‘s of Arts ______________________________ Elif Andac, PhD – Sociology, Chairperson ______________________________ Ebenezer Obadare, PhD -Sociology Committee Member ______________________________ Robert F. Baumann, PhD – History Committee Member Date Defended: 15 May 2008 The Thesis Committee for Spencer S. Stith certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF POST-OTTOMAN POLITICAL INFLUENCES ON BULGARIAN NATIONAL IDENTITY CONSTRUCTION AND CONFLICT Committee: ___________________________ Elif Andac, Chairperson* ___________________________ Ebenezer Obadare ___________________________ Robert F. Baumann Date Approved: 08 June 2008 ii Abstract Bulgarian society has a successful history of maintaining a relatively peaceful multicultural environment over centuries. This thesis is a comparative analysis of three transitional periods in Bulgaria coinciding with 1) the latter years of Ottoman dominion: 1762-1877, 2) the end of the Balkan Wars and World Wars I and II: 1878- 1947, and 3) the latter years of the Communist dominion: 1947-1989. These periods will be analyzed with the aim to understand the role that regional political agendas have played in shaping an imagined Bulgarian national identity. It will be shown that when it has occurred, identity-based conflict in Bulgaria can be better explained by examining the contributions of nationalist political influences from 1876 – 1989 on identity construction rather than an inherent Balkan propensity to religious and ethnic intolerance.

When the dye sees light, it will react and tell us immediately if there is too much oxygen inside the packaging. Too much oxygen could allow harmful microorganisms to grow. This would reduce the product’s shelf-life. Rather than the traditional approach of random-testing and destroying samples, we have developed the only solution in the world that measures every package coming out of a production line, without touching or destroying anything.” In the initial process of research and product development, TecSense benefited from two EU grants.

  • Exhibition Opening Common Places
    EXHIBITION OPENING COMMON PLACES A CONSTELLATION OF MICRO-INTERVENTIONS IN NOVE FUŽINE, LJUBLJANA #exhibition 14 September 2016 – 29 October 2017 Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO) Pot na Fužine 2, Ljubljana, Slovenia Opening: 14 September at 18.00 MAO presents Common Places, a commissioned project by Chilean-French architecture office Plan Común and the Portuguese landscape architect Tiago Torres-Campos. Common Places is a series of brick constructions located in Nove Fužine, a part of Ljubljana where MAO is situated. Plan Común and Tiago Torres-Campos have designed five multifunctional plinths, which are strategically positioned over the entire neighbourhood: in the museum courtyard, along the river, in the historic garden, in front of the community centre and behind the famous city bus stop, designed by Saša J. Mächtig in the 1960s. The plinths build, encourage and reinforce different uses of public space and create specific relations with the surroundings. They intend to become platforms for contemplation, meeting points, stages for events, concerts or lectures, or simply structures on which to sit and enjoy the communal life of the neighbourhood. In order to encourage passers-by to think about these spaces, Slovenian writer Goran Vojnović wrote short stories about the selected sites in which he reflects youth in the neighbourhood. The limitations inherent in the project, in terms of timeframe, administrative work and budget, have been transformed into opportunities that concentrated the constellation around the easternmost urban enclave of Nove Fužine and MAO. This allowed for a more focused, even precise set of decisions on the interventions and the public space upon which they act.
