A key step toward the school\u2019s development and the approval of its first degree program<\/h3>\n

We are pleased to announce that on May 23, 2024, at the premises of the founder INKUBATOR d.o.o. Se\u017eana<\/a>, we held the constituent meeting of the Senate of the Se\u017eana College of Materials Design (VSOM). The meeting was chaired by the acting dean, Mr. Anton Marn<\/a>. At the meeting, the founding documents and the first study program were adopted, marking an important step in the process of establishing and operating the college.<\/p>\n

The following were elected to the VSOM Senate, from right to left: Dr. Ale\u0161 Lipnik<\/a>, Dr. Martina Paradi\u017e<\/a>, Anton Marn<\/a>, Jasna Klan\u010di\u0161ar<\/a>, Dr. Luka Jan\u010di\u010d<\/a>, Uro\u0161 Hohkravt<\/a> and Dr. Aleksander Horvat<\/a>, who unfortunately was unable to attend the meeting.<\/p>\n

During the process of establishing and launching the school, following the successful acquisition of accreditation from the National Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Quality in Higher Education \u2013 NAKVIS<\/a> and the decision received on May 8, 2024, regarding the entry of VSOM into the court register, we constituted the Senate, thereby completing the formation of the school\u2019s governing bodies. We are now focusing on the preparation of study, research, and other programs.<\/p>\n

Acting Dean of VSOM, Anton Marn, and the director of INKUBATOR d.o.o. Se\u017eana<\/a> (founder of VSOM), Dorijan Mar\u0161i\u010d<\/a>, emphasized: \u201cThe establishment of VSOM is the result of the hard work and dedication of the working group led by the chair of the expert council the Educational Development Center<\/a> (an internal organizational unit within the company Inkubator d.o.o. Se\u017eana) Dr. Lucija \u010cok<\/a>, who, with her professional work and extensive experience, made a significant contribution to the school\u2019s accreditation. We would also like to extend special thanks to our colleague Toma\u017e Vadjunec<\/a>, a research associate at the Educational Development Center<\/a>, and the entire team of professors for their dedicated work.\u201d<\/p>\n

By the end of May 2024, we will submit an application to NAKVIS<\/a> for the accreditation of our first study program \u2013\u00a0Material Design<\/a>. We are confident that this program will make a significant contribution to the development of knowledge and skills in the field of materials design and will strengthen links between education, the creative cultural sector, and other economic sectors in the region, Slovenia, and Europe.<\/p>\n

VSOM students in the Materials Design program will be able to choose between two specializations:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
