The Department of Political Science and International Relations at conference in Olomouc

Petr Jurek alongside with Pavel Hulec attended the Academic Institutions in a Changing World conference in Olomouc on 15 March 2024, where they presented the outputs of the project Management of Science and Sociology - Norwegian-Czech Cooperation.

The main goal of the project was to share experiences and good practices of the Norwegian and Czech sides in the areas of management of science and sociology during mutual foreign trips, publication activities and the implementation of an international conference held at Palacký University in Olomouc. The paper by Petr Jurek and Pavel Hulec concerned the state regulation of higher education and the ways in which state institutions influence the functioning of universities in teaching and research.

The project was funded by the 4th open call for bilateral relations under the EEA and Norway Grants 2014-2021, which was awarded to the Department of Sociology, Andragogy and Cultural Anthropology of the Faculty of Arts of Palacký University in co-leadership with the Department of Sociology of the Faculty of Arts of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen.
