1. Enhancing knowledge and technology transfer : determinants and indicators of successful university–industry collaborationJana Hojnik, Štefan Bojnec, Simona Kustec, Vaida Zemlickienė, Zenonas Turskis, 2026, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: Both universities and companies create value and innovation to maintain their position and remain competitive. Different, but still similar, with two goals that are shared. With their collaboration, they can enhance their pursuit of sustainability and as well corporate social responsibility by creating and delivering value and thus contributing to the well-being of society. This paper thus examines the determinants and indicators of successful university–industry collaboration (UIC) in the context of knowledge and technology transfer. The purpose of the research is to identify key factors that drive effective UIC and to establish measurable indicators for evaluating the performance of this collaboration. The paper aimed to understand not only what drives UIC but also how to measure its effectiveness. So, an exploratory, theory-building approach, adopting a systematic literature review is applied. By focusing on the determinants and measurable outputs of UIC, the paper provides insights into the strategic importance of measuring knowledge and technology transfer for a wide range of stakeholders involved in it. UIC for universities is a part of their third mission and their CSR, while with respect for companies, UIC is a result of practicing open innovation and pursuing corporate social responsibility. While consolidating these dimensions, the study also develops a holistic input–output indicator framework that not only clarifies how collaboration is initiated and structured but also how it can be evaluated in practice.

2. Disaster preparedness in Greece : toward societal, organisational and technological resilienceGintarė Zinkevičiūtė, Michail Chalaris, Sotiria Anastasiou, Jana Hojnik, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This study examines disaster preparedness in Greece in the context of escalating climate-related hazards, focusing on the interaction of societal, organisational, and technological factors. Using a mixed-methods approach – policy analysis, expert interviews, and case studies of major 2023 events - findings reveal systemic gaps in prevention funding, risk communication, and community engagement. Institutional frameworks have strengthened, notably through digital alert systems, yet remain reactive rather than preventive. Behavioural barriers, such as low self-efficacy and risk denial, limit public readiness, while volunteer networks remain underrecognised. Drawing on resilience theory and comparative research on societal and organisational transitions, the paper proposes a multi-level strategy combining institutional robustness, behavioural change interventions, and technological innovation. The analysis contributes to the broader discourse on adaptive and transformative resilience, offering transferable lessons for Mediterranean and other climate-vulnerable regions.

3. From Cinema to Knowledge Hub : Circular Economy and Social Innovation at the University of Primorska LibraryJonatan Vinkler, Jana Hojnik, 2025, strokovni članek Opis: This paper presents a transformative initiative undertaken by the University of Primorska to centralise and modernise its library services. Through the implementation of a user-centric approach, the initiative reimagines the library as an inclusive, 24/7 accessible space that meets legal, operational, and social innovation standards. The revitalisation of a historic cinema complex into a dynamic library hub exemplifies circular economy principles (reusing and repurposing instead of building something new), while the initiative’s transdisciplinary methodology ensures scalability and replicability. A detailed SWOT analysis and impact analysis highlight the strengths, challenges, impact and long-term vision of the initiative, positioning it as a model for inclusive academic infrastructure.
