1. Exploring innovation challenges through Art, Science and Technology : MAST SYMPOSIUM 2020Tere Badia, Peter Purg, Vivianne Hoffman, Michela Magas, Marko Peljhan, unpublished conference contribution Abstract: The goal of the panel discussion was to bring together policy makers, artists and academics, to debate about the interdisciplinary challenges of open innovation in the interface of the Arts, Sciences and Technologies. Artists and designers shape another relationship between science, technology, and human beings, this dialogue stimulates innovation centred on transversal competencies and unconventional thinking. The combination of artistic research and participatory design strategies is key to find divergent approaches to sustainable development of science and technology, and to transform their social and economic impact. It is necessary to create a context of possibility for the development of skills, knowledge and tools from experimental and collaborative environments, as well as research methods in art, social sciences, sciences and technology, and cultural studies.
The discussion focussed on critical, ethical and sustainable ways of cross-collaboration between art-science-technology and the available and needed policy instruments to develop collaboration between artists, academia and industry. Participating speakers:
Viviane Hoffman – Deputy Director-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture, European Commission

2. Slovene scientists during World War II : The life trajectories of Maks Samec, Fran Ramovš and Ljudmila Dolar Mantuani, and the impact of World War II on their careersŽeljko Oset, 2019, original scientific article Abstract: This paper discusses the impact of World War II and its aftermath on the Slovene
intellectual elite within Slovene national institutions, e.g., the University of Ljubljana and
the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts. The focus is on the life trajectories of three
prominent professors of the University of Ljubljana, among whom two were also members
of the Slovene Academy of Sciences and Arts. They were selected due to their prominence,
scientific field (natural sciences and humanities), and gender. Case studies can provide
a better understanding of decisions, doubts, and anguish of individual scientists, while testy
about the general mood among intellectuals. Everyone tried to find their way through the
war and repression in different ways. Due to their position in society, the intellectuals
were more protected than the general public, but even then they were under pressure to
proclaim loyalty to the occupation authorities, and after a while denounce the liberation
movement. After the war, their lives, connections and wartime actions were placed under
the microscope by the new Communist authorities. Keywords: World War II, Slovene culture, University of Ljubljana, Slovene Academy of
