The London-based Royal Society publishing the world’s oldest scientific journal in continuous publication Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (since 1665) identified science diplomacy as still a fluid concept that can be applied to the role of science, technology and innovation in three dimensions of policy: Science in diplomacy; Diplomacy for science; Science for diplomacy. In June 2015 the European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation Carlos Moedas reiterated the Royal Society’s dimensions of science diplomacy in his speech The EU approach to science diplomacy at the European Institute in Washington.
Terms “diplomacy”, “science” and “art” are marked by variability of interpretations, with the French painter G. Braque pointing at one of possible links between science and art: « L’Art est fait pour trabler, la Science rassure. » (Notebooks: Day and Night, 1952 quoted in PODOLAN, 2014, p. 745); pivotal shift in the perception (of the complexity) of diplomacy is accentuated by editors of The Oxford Handbook of Modern Diplomacy (2013), too.

The presentation outlines the problem of contradictory expectations against professional education of the multinational giants and SME-s. The need for “engineers” more or less in the “classical” understanding of the word is evident and pressing in SME-s. The up-to-date data processing and networking has also a -side effect- in loosing important part of basic knowledge. On the other hand research and development in universities are oriented towards areas covered by the modern, sophisticated instrumentation and less on solving specific problems appeared in different industrial applications. This way important energy, time and money are wasted or at least inefficiently spent. Is this a characteristic of our era or it is just a “side effect” of the extremely fast scientific-technical development. Efforts at the Sapientia Tg.Mures with the support of local companies aiming a more industry oriented education are outlined. Experiments involving the Plasmaterm SA is aiming both research and development as well as current production activities are evaluated. A specific concept of dual education is presented, with active participation of students as part-time employees of the company during their last year of studies is briefly evaluated.

Anton Habjanič: IP policy model at the University of MariborCUBCCE Conference
As the global knowledge economy grows each year, the importance of intellectual property (IP) policy also grows for non-profit organizations such as universities. Pretty much every organization has an IP portfolio of some kind and value, whether or not the organization realizes it as such. As a result, almost every organization needs an IP policy model, even if it’s a simple one.
This presentation is intended to help the universities and other research organizations to set IP policy model to optimise the benefits from the intellectual assets created by their staff and students. The presented model, which was adopted at the University of Maribor, does not provide an IP policy that can be applied across all organizations as there is no “one size fits all” approach to IP management. But, it identifies the key features that need to be considered in order to build a strategic framework for the managing of IP, as for example the issues of ownership, protection and sharing of the economic benefits arising from the commercial exploitation of IP created by researchers in the course of their duties or activities at the university.

University of Zagreb, Faculty of Organization (FOI) and Informatics launched an internship programme for students. The programme was very positively accepted by the business community. In short time we signed agreement with more than 350 companies indicating their willingness to accept students for internships. The experiences are very positive. One third of students remain employed by the companies after finishing internship. Additional befit of the programme is closer relationship with involved companies and exploration of new ways of cooperation on various projects. Recently Faculty launched startup@foi.hr programme. The idea is that all costs related to establishment and first year of operations, including location, is funded by Faculty. This form of pre-incubation attracted great attention across student community. It is interesting to notice that some of the companies accepted to cosponsor this programme in order to be close to innovative ideas. Such activities made FOI a strong regional hub for IT industry and meeting point for various projects.
Ivan Nenad Mihajlović: Entrepreneurial University – synergy of entrepreneuria...CUBCCE Conference
Industrial as well as Small, Medium and Micro Enterprise development, based on Innovations and Technology is one of the most effective ways of helping the increase of manufacturing effectiveness in all parts of the World.
Accordingly, Innovations and Technology Development are the most appropriate way to promote and stimulate innovation activity in both scientific community and the industrial sector. This way the partnerships between the academia, research community and the industrial facilities in both public and private sector should be a back bone of further development of each society.
Based on those facts, part of the research activities of any academic institution should also be dedicated to increase entrepreneurial potential of the university students and development of the innovative approaches which will lead to larger correlation between large industry, SMEs and universities. This leads to high necessity of promoting the entrepreneurial university concept, as the only potential way to motivate old European academic institutions to change in the direction of commercialization of their research work.

The objective of the presentation is to share good practices in promoting and supporting entrepreneurship within higher education. It will also elaborate on actions which were taken by Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education to examine the progress of Polish higher education institutions (HEIs) towards becoming “entrepreneurial HEIs”, improving efficiency of transition from education to the labor market, increasing the usefulness of competences acquired by university graduates for the labor market, improving access to information about the graduates’ career paths in the labor market. Poland has been implementing the new graduate tracking system in order to get reliable and comparable data on graduates’ employment outcomes. It will be based on administrative data: matching database of graduates with anonymized data from the Social Insurance Institution focuses on transversal skills. Since 2014 Poland has been implementing the competency development programme which will support the training sessions and workshops aimed at increasing the skills and competences most relevant to the labour market, including entrepreneurship, but also interpersonal skills, including efficient use of the Polish language (literacy skills), formulating opinions, teamwork, negotiation techniques, additional courses delivered jointly with employers, career guidance. In October 2014 the Ministry and the National Centre of Research and Development announced the new competition, supported by the European Social Fund, for projects supporting career offices and career guidance in particular. Presentation will introduce the most important achievements of the objectives referred to the Frames of European cooperation on education and training.

The purpose of his presentation is to address an undoubtedly discussed issue of networking and creation of educational and scientific clusters. The scientific teams of different countries and various scientific fields represent the most dynamically developing part of the scientific and research base. Establishing interdisciplinary teams with members from different countries create a strong scientific potential for implementing financially and technologically demanding scientific research. Providing the necessary background for the scientists requires large financial investments, ensuring access to scientific resources and the latest research results. In his presentation He would like to introduce an educational-scientific cluster, consisting of three institutions of higher education, officially operating under the name of Academic Alliance. The cluster is formed by two Czech and one Slovak institution. The scientific researchers of the institutions are connected to create a strong background, active interaction, synergy, and the possibility to conduct demanding scientific research.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
