SUMMARY:Fake News and Conspiracy Theories: How to Fight Them and Protect Gender Equality?
DESCRIPTION:“Raising awareness of the interested public through presentations on fake news and conspiracy theories in the field of gender equality: Despite technological and social progress\, even in the field of gender equality\, fake news and conspiracy theories exist. Based on their characteristics\, fake news can be classified into several subgroups\, such as: false information\, which refers to inaccurate information or manipulated truth with the aim of creating sensational stories; bias\, which refers to the fact that people will prefer to share and believe fake news that is consistent with their beliefs and biases; the spread of false information through the platform\, with the help of which the information spreads faster; manipulation through which the creators of false information only want to spread it for various reasons such as political goals\, financial gain or entertainment. \nAs a well-known example\, we can take the difference in pay for the same work between men and women\, many still deny this fact and do not attach any special importance to it. In the field of science\, there is often misinformation or stereotypes about what men and women can do\, or what abilities one group and another have. Stereotypical claims are also often seen in the fields of technology\, mechanical engineering\, computer engineering and mathematics. Some misinformation often tries to relativize and minimize the magnitude of the problem of violence against women or falsely state that most allegations are false\, even though research indicates that the proportion of false allegations in cases of sexual violence is relatively low. \nWe can still find news stories and messages from celebrities stating that feminism is part of a global conspiracy to devalue traditional values and the family and place men in a subordinate position. We also witness in many cases when they use conspiracy theories to try to convince others that feminism is hostile to men and promotes the dominance of one gender over the other. That is why it is important to recognize fake news and conspiracy theories and to be able to check the source of the information\, or to find out where the information is coming from and if we have found it within a credible source that supports or refutes the stated facts. \n\nVarious research projects dealing with gender equality and equal opportunities can play an important role in raising awareness. In particular\, we will present the AGRIGEP project within the framework of Horizon Europe\, which aims to inform the general public about the importance and benefits of research in the field of gender equality. \n\n\nFurther below\, you are kindly invited to read and view the following materials related to the event: \n\n\nThe invitation with the program is available at this link.\nAwareness-raising leaflets are available at this link.\nPhotos from the event:

SUMMARY:What Is My Body Capable Of?
DESCRIPTION:The workshop will consist of three different movement challenges and a few myths about our body. \n\nSitting in a circle: each pupil sits on another pupil’s knees in such a way that they form a circle. If the pupils arrange themselves appropriately\, they will be able to sit on each other’s knees while at the same time supporting the person in front of them. \nA thinking game with the number of legs and arms on the ground. For example\, if we have a group of 10 pupils\, the instruction is that there must be 10 hands and 10 feet on the ground. The pupils arrange themselves in a way that meets the instructions. The number of legs and arms can then be changed freely. \nRelay with a ball: the group is divided into two teams. The teams line up. Various ball-passing games follow\, for example passing the ball between the legs and back over the head. \nMyths: Can you lick your elbow with your tongue? Can you lick your nose with your tongue? When can I overcome a heavier load? When I perform an exercise using both arms/legs (with both arms or legs at the same time)\, or if I add together the load I can overcome with my left arm/leg and my right arm/leg?

SUMMARY:Is Chinese Really Such a Difficult Language?
DESCRIPTION:In the workshops\, we will first briefly present the characteristics and specific features of the Chinese language\, and then explore why certain linguistic elements of Chinese are perceived as difficult. We will also consider which characteristics and features of Slovenian are perceived as challenging by foreigners. By comparing the languages\, we will try to verify these claims. We will also examine which features of Chinese make it easier for us to learn and memorize the sound patterns or the written form of Chinese characters. \nThe workshops will be led by sinologists\, Chinese language teachers\, and students who are learning Chinese and Slovenian. \nMore here.

SUMMARY:Proprioceptive Training
DESCRIPTION:Participants will receive a short introductory lecture where they will learn about the importance of proprioception and trunk stabilization in everyday movement and rehabilitation. We will present how our body perceives its position in space and why this is important for balance\, sports\, and recovery after injuries. This will be followed by a practical demonstration of using a laser device for training cervical proprioception. Participants will learn how a laser mounted on the head provides feedback on neck movement control and improves the sense of orientation. They will also be able to try the device themselves through an engaging challenge: tracing letters and shapes with a laser placed on top of the head. \nNext\, we will demonstrate the use of a biofeedback unit for trunk stabilization\, through which individuals train the correct activation of deep abdominal muscles. Participants will have the opportunity to take part in a practical test\, where they will use a sensor to try to maintain optimal pressure while activating the muscles. At the end\, a short discussion will follow on the role of these technologies in physiotherapy and sports training\, with participants encouraged to actively participate and ask questions.

SUMMARY:Wildlife Detective: Revealing the Invisible Wildlife Around You
DESCRIPTION:As part of the activity “Wildlife Detective: Revealing the Invisible Wildlife Around You\,” pupils and teachers will be introduced to innovative approaches to monitoring biodiversity using modern genetic methods. These methods enable the understanding and investigation of numerous animal characteristics (what they feed on\, the environment they live in\, whether their populations in nature are stable\, the extent of their resistance to diseases\, how to identify overall biodiversity in a single reaction\, etc.). Pupils and teachers will also learn the basics of field research\, namely how to obtain appropriate genetic samples from the environment (environmental DNA) or from animals (e.g. collecting hair\, droppings\, and other animal traces)\, which make it possible to obtain a wide range of data important for the conservation\, management\, and understanding of animal characteristics. Participants will also take part in so-called eDNA bingo\, which was developed within the larger international project Biodiversity Genomics Europe. The goal of the interactive game will be to identify invisible organisms based on DNA sequences that we will “find” in our samples.

SUMMARY:Virtual Reality in the Development of Content for Geopark Promotion
DESCRIPTION:Geoparks around the world face numerous challenges: how to preserve and at the same time interpret complex natural processes\, how to engage younger visitors who are accustomed to interactive and digital content\, and how to develop tourism products that are attractive while not endangering sensitive environments. Virtual reality offers precisely this—it provides a safe\, sustainable\, and inclusive form of experience that brings natural and cultural values closer to visitors in an innovative way. We will present how we developed a virtual cycling experience along selected routes within the geopark—visitors to the European Researchers’ Night will be able to try out a short interactive simulation of cycling through characteristic karst landscapes\, where they will learn about natural landmarks\, geological features\, and the cultural heritage of the area along the way.

SUMMARY:Should Fake News Become the Most Important Content of Media News Programs?
DESCRIPTION:The ability of media users to recognize fake news is perceived as one of the most important elements of citizens’ media literacy. Critical understanding of media content certainly helps us resist or avoid various forms of information manipulation that we encounter today\, both in traditional media and in other channels and forms of communication\, on social networks or in interpersonal communication. But are all “fake news” really lies\, half-truths\, or another form of manipulation of message recipients? What is the original meaning of the English phrase “fake news\,” and how many meanings does it have? Does it also refer to content that is actually a critical interpretation of traditional news\, helping media users better understand events and phenomena in contemporary society? How can we train ourselves to recognize these differences and use them constructively in everyday life? \n\nFurther below\, you are kindly invited to read and view the following materials related to the event: \n\nEvent materials are available at this link.

SUMMARY:Critical Understanding of Media Content
DESCRIPTION:The media critical analysis workshop will provide participants with knowledge for a conceptual understanding of media content. The aim is to identify viewpoints\, genres\, and patterns of media presentation\, and to detect propaganda\, censorship\, and bias within content. The group of young people aged 12 to 15 is assumed to have insufficient media literacy; however\, they are more skilled in using mobile digital devices and can create some media content and share it with other users. At the same time\, they access content uncritically and are therefore a potentially vulnerable group exposed to fake news and online abuse. The workshop will demonstrate how exposed they are to fake news and teach them how to develop a critical attitude toward information and other media content. \n\nImplementation for pupils and teachers of Anton Ukmar Primary School Koper. \n\nPresentation for teachers\, April 7\, 2025\nWorkshop implementation\, April 7–11\, 2025\nPresentation of results\, September 26\, 2025\n\n\n\nFurther below\, you are kindly invited to read and view the following materials related to the event: \n\nThe invitation with the program is available at this link.\nEvent materials are available at this link.\nPhotos from the event:

SUMMARY:Excursions into the Mathematical Universe: Matchings in Graphs\, from Stable Marriages to Blooming
DESCRIPTION:A series of popular science lectures titled “Excursions into the Mathematical Universe.” The lectures are primarily intended for students of secondary schools in the Primorska region\, but they are also open to the general public. Researchers and university lecturers will present ancient and modern mathematical concepts and their applicability in various fields of science\, natural sciences\, and social sciences in an accessible way. \n\nMatchings in Graphs\, from Stable Marriages to Blooming \nSuppose we have six gifts that we would like to distribute among five friends. Can we give one gift to each friend in such a way that everyone receives something they will be happy with? This is an example of a problem where matchings can help us if we model it using graphs. In this lecture\, we will look at what a graph is\, what a matching in a graph is\, how we can efficiently find one (if it exists at all)\, and some other problems that can be solved using matchings. \nAbout the lecturer: Nina Chiarelli graduated in 2011 from the Faculty of Education in Koper in the field of mathematics and computer science and earned her PhD in mathematical sciences in 2016 at UP FAMNIT. She has been employed at UP FAMNIT since 2014\, first as an assistant and later as an assistant professor. Since 2017\, she has also been employed as a researcher at UP IAM. Her research focuses on discrete mathematics\, with an emphasis on graph theory. \n\n\nFurther below\, you are kindly invited to read and view the following materials related to the event: \n\nThe invitation with the program is available at this link.\nEvent materials are available at this link.\nA recording of the event is available at this link.\nPhotos from the event:

SUMMARY:Excursions into the Mathematical Universe: The Essentials of Primality Testing
DESCRIPTION:A series of popular science lectures titled “Excursions into the Mathematical Universe.” The lectures are primarily intended for students of secondary schools in the Primorska region\, but they are also open to the general public. Researchers and university lecturers will present ancient and modern mathematical concepts and their applicability in various fields of science\, natural sciences\, and social sciences in an accessible way. \n\nThe Essentials of Primality Testing \nImagine that you have to determine whether a given one-hundred-digit odd natural number is prime. This task may sound like a bad joke in a mathematics class\, but the answer is crucial for modern cryptography. A straightforward procedure would be to check\, for every natural number ddd greater than 1 and less than the square root of the given number nnn\, whether ddd divides nnn. This would require approximately 105010^{50}1050 division operations. Even if each such operation took only 1 nanosecond\, we would be waiting for the answer for about 103310^{33}1033 years\, which makes this approach inefficient. \nAn efficient procedure (or algorithm) is one that requires p(log⁡n)p(\log n)p(logn) operations\, where p(x)p(x)p(x) is a polynomial. Fortunately\, in practice there exist very fast probabilistic algorithms\, such as the Miller–Rabin test\, which determine with high probability whether a number is prime. In this lecture\, we will look at some of these procedures and the basic ideas behind them. \nAbout the lecturer: Aleksander Simonič earned his PhD in analytic number theory in 2022 at the University of New South Wales (Australia). After completing his doctorate\, he worked there as a researcher and lecturer\, teaching various mathematics courses to students of the Australian Defence Force Academy. He is currently employed as an assistant at the Faculty of Mathematics\, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies of the University of Primorska\, where his research focuses on L-functions and where he teaches two number-theory courses. He is a passionate lover of classical music and long walks. \n\n\nFurther below\, you are kindly invited to read and view the following materials related to the event: \n\nThe invitation with the program is available at this link.\nEvent materials are available at this link.\nA recording of the event is available at this link.\nPhotos from the event:

SUMMARY:Conversations with UP Alumni: Connecting Science with Everyday Life | UP FM – Current Geopolitical Developments in the World
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, November 28\, at 6:00 PM\, a meeting with Assoc. Prof. Dr. Primož Šterbenc and Simona Simonovič\, MSc in Political Science\, will take place in Lecture Room 3 at the Faculty of Management. \n\nToday\, we are living in a specific period of international relations\, marked by a transition from a unipolar global order (a single superpower) to a multipolar one (several major powers). Such periods are generally unstable and potentially dangerous. The fundamental context of contemporary international relations is the competition between the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China for global leadership\, which could lead to a conflict between a “ruling power” and a “rising power\,” as warned by the renowned Athenian historian Thucydides. The greatest risks are associated with the South China Sea and\, in particular\, Taiwan. Washington and Beijing are seeking to improve their geostrategic positions through various projects and alliances\, with China’s Belt and Road Initiative being the most important among them. From this perspective\, the turbulent developments in Ukraine and the Middle East must also be interpreted. \n\n\n\n\nEvents organised by the Alumni Office team\, involving alumni and professors from specific faculties\, aiming to create a dynamic environment for meaningful discussions on contemporary and relevant topics\, including fake news and conspiracy theories. The six sessions will take place throughout the year\, with a moderator leading a structured discussion at each session\, after which we will open the floor for questions from the audience and further informal conversation over a reception to follow. \n\nFurther below\, you are kindly invited to read and view the following materials related to the event: \n\nThe invitation with the program is available at this link.\nPhotos from the event:
