BIP International Staff Week 2025 - Gamification in Education and Leadership

We are pleased to invite colleagues from our partner universities abroad to the International Staff Week at the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Maribor, which will be organized in March 2025.

The purpose of the BIP International Staff Week is to strengthen international research cooperation and exchange good practices and experiences within the lectures. The aim of this International Staff Week is to promote the idea of internationalization, increase staff mobility and consequently student mobility.

The aim of the International Week at the FOV is to present gamification, the most common tools and ways to implement it in the educational process as well as in the processes of management and motivation of employees. We are planning to organise lectures and workshops on the topic of gamification.

The staff week also aims to bring together all university staff, working on or interested in this topic, to learn new skills, discuss opportunities and challenges and share their experiences and best practises.

Participants of the International Staff Week are invited to submit a presentation related to Staff Week title which can be presented in the frame of the Staff Week program.  Participation with the presentation is not a mandatory condition for the cooperation in the International Staff Mobility Week. Participation is only encouraged.

Kranj

For thousands of years the town of Kranj has enjoyed its strategic position. Located between two rivers on a conglomerate rock beneath the Alps, it has always been a lively centre where diverse ethnic groups would meet and later also people of various nations from all over the world. These encounters have influenced the architecture, the transport links and the temperament of Kranj.

Portorož

Portorož is well known as a party town, where you can have fun by the sea. However, this Slovenian coastal splendour has more than meets the eye.

Portorož has been known as the place of healing since the 13th century when the monks from the St. Laurence Monastery first used the sea water and brine for healing purposes. Ever since Portorož was home to many healing and wellness complexes, which to this day, use the healing properties of salt and the sea.
