Impressions: 2nd Interdisciplinary Summer School in Humanities Sexual Desire Unbound: Literature, Landscapes, and Digital Dialogues, 27th August - 2nd September 2024
The 2nd Interdisciplinary Summer School in Humanities Sexual Desire Unbound: Literature, Landscapes, and Digital Dialogues has just wrapped up, marking the end of an incredible week! We were immersed in inspiring lectures, lively discussions, creative challenges, and the forging of many new friendships. This year's participants represented 7 countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Poland, Slovakia, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Czechia. Together, we explored 4 cities: Ljubljana, Nova Gorica, and Celje in Slovenia, as well as Gorizia in Italy. Over these 7 intense days, we delved into the important and often overlooked topic of sexual desire in literature—especially within the Central and Eastern European context. The participants rose to the challenge, imagining interpretations of literature through the lenses of literary tourism and digital humanities. The success of this summer school highlights the potential of such events in fostering communities and building knowledge.
Thank you all for your enthusiasm and contributions. We can't wait to see you at the next summer school!

Impressions from the summer school: Modeling and manufacturing of light aircraft models using 3D printing technology, Slovenj Gradec and Vipava, 26th–30th August 2024
The summer school was attended by young people aged 14 to 18, who explored the field of modeling and manufacturing light aircraft models. Using 3D printing, they created prototypes based on their models, which were successfully flown.
The representatives from Gogetair Aircraft introduced participants to the process of designing and modeling light aircraft, while a representative from Hexagon demonstrated the scanning of a real light aircraft model. Participants also learned about 3D modeling and printing technologies, the principles of flight, aviation, and reverse engineering. Moreover, the Koroška Aeroclub Slovenj Gradec and the Josip Križaj Aeroclub Ajdovščina presented aircraft to the participants.
The summer school was organized by the School of Environmental Sciences of the University of Nova Gorica and the Faculty of Polymer Technology as part of the project Promoting STE(A)M Studies for Future Careers, funded by the Ministry of Education, Science, and Sport (MIZŠ).
