101. 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.

102. Universities as Drivers of Social Innovation and Circular Economy : Insights from the University of TriesteRubina Romanello, Salvatore Dore, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Universities are main actors capable of fostering social innovation (SI) and advancing circular economy (CE) practices through education, research, community engagement, and internal governance practices. This article examines the University of Trieste (UNITS) as a case study to explore how universities can promote synergies between SI and CE. By analysing in-depth secondary and primary data, our study maps the activities implemented by the University to spread the two paradigms by specifically organizing them in four fields: teaching and student engagement; research and knowledge transfer; third mission and societal outreach; and sustainability practices. Through this mapping activity, this study identifies five benchmark activities that are considered highly impactful in spreading both SI and CE paradigms: the PhD Program in Circular Economy, the RUS Food Working Group, the AReTS water project, the adaptive reuse of the Ex-Ospedale Militare, and the Innovators Community Lab. Our results provide food for thought for policy makers and practitioners, showing some activities that might be replicable among higher education institutions worldwide.

103. Social Innovation at Universities : Mapping Roles, Research Content Directions, Challenges and ImplicationsDesislava Yordanova, Simona Kustec, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Social innovation has emerged as a transformative paradigm as well as a potential solution for addressing complex societal challenges, be it from the issues of inequality, better living conditions, to climate change, and digitalisation. However, despite the growing academic as well as also political attention, its theoretical framing and institutional embedding remain fragmented. Universities, through their roles as knowledge producers, educators, and civic actors, hold one of the central and unique positions in shaping social innovation ecosystems. This article explores how universities can contribute to social innovation, what institutional and systemic barriers limit their engagement, and how they can strategically integrate social innovation within their missions. Combining bibliometric analysis and qualitative synthesis, this paper maps the evolution of research on this topic, identifies key conceptual trends, and outlines pathways for future orientations. The findings reveal that while universities act as important catalysts for societal transformation, their systemic impact remains constrained by structural and also political inertia. The paper concludes with recommendations on how to strengthen social innovation capacities of the universities roles and missions for social innovation.

106. Raziskovanje managerskih in organizacijskih pojavov : med metodološkimi smernicami in raziskovalno realnostjoKlara Čalušić, Nina Krmac, 2025, strokovni članek Opis: Raziskovalci managerskih, organizacijskih in poslovnih pojavov delujejo na stičišču različnih vsebinskih poudarkov ter bogatega nabora metodoloških pristopov za sistematično preučevanje omenjenih tematik. Kako metodološko korektno zasnovati raziskavo, se lahko izkaže za posebej zahtevno nalogo zaradi več razlogov, ki izhajajo iz narave discipline, socializacije v akademsko okolje, izhodiščnega raziskovalnega problema, konteksta in nenazadnje dinamičnega poslovnega okolja, v katerem želijo raziskovalci opraviti raziskavo. Pri tem se lahko soočijo s situacijami, ki zahtevajo določeno mero metodološke fleksibilnosti za smiselno uravnoteženje raziskovalnega namena in ciljev s praktičnimi omejitvami, ki se pojavijo v raziskovanju. Ravno zaradi tega je ključnega pomena, da poznajo različne metodološke možnosti, ki so jim na voljo, vendar pa po drugi strani raziskave na področju managementa kažejo, da se določeni pristopi pojavljajo kot dominantne metodološke opcije. Namen članka je prvenstveno predstaviti nekatere izzive, s katerimi se soočajo raziskovalci, in podati drugačen pogled na metodologijo, kot ga običajno dobimo iz prebiranja številnih metodoloških učbenikov, s poudarkom na praktičnih izkušnjah raziskovalcev.

107. Družbena odgovornost in trajnostni razvoj v slovenskih bankahLucija Glavič, Žiga Čepar, 2025, strokovni članek Opis: Članek obravnava izjemno aktualno problematiko trajnostnega razvoja in družbene odgovornosti na primeru bančnega sektorja v Sloveniji. Njegov namen je na primeru raziskave slovenskih bank ugotoviti, katere so tiste bistvene vsebine, ki jih naslavljajo banke, ko govorimo o družbeni odgovornosti in trajnostnem razvoju, ter kakšna so pričakovanja deležnikov in družbe do bank glede teh vsebin, ter ta pričakovanja primerjati z dejanskimi aktivnostmi bank. Da bi dosegli namen raziskave ter odgovorili na postavljeno raziskovalno vprašanje, smo preučili relevantno litera turo, povezano z družbeno odgovornostjo ter s trajnostnim razvojem v slovenskih bankah, opravili analizo letnih poročil 12 slovenskih bank ter v okviru raziskave na podlagi polstrukturiranih intervjujev z devetimi predstavniki deležniških skupin bank pridobili primarne podatke, ki smo jih analizirali s pomočjo metode analize vsebine. Ugotovitve raziskave kažejo na določena razhajanja med odnosom bank in pričakovanji njihovih deležnikov na tem področju ter lahko služijo tudi kot pripomoček pri pripravi trajnostnih poročil in strategij bank v bodoče.

108. The Slavko Osterc Ensemble (1961–1981) : The Principal Promoter of the Creativity of the Society of Slovene Composers AbroadJernej Weiss, 2026, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: The 1960s saw the formation throughout Europe of numerous groups specialising in the performance of New Music. Unlike classical ensembles, these groups were able to adapt their instrumental line-ups as required, and were particularly receptive to experimentation of every kind. In Slovenia they included both the Collegium musicum society, founded in 1957 by Pavel Šivic under the aegis of the Composers’ Club, and the Slavko Osterc Ensemble, founded in 1961 by members of the composers’ group Pro musica viva as a vehicle for the performance of their own works. The spiritus agens and conductor of the latter ensemble was Ivo Petrić (1931–2018). Petrić, who headed the DSS’s publishing arm Edicije Društva slovenskih skladateljev from 1970 until 2002, was also the ensemble’s artistic director from the outset. The ensemble’s activities encouraged the creation of numerous new compositions and contributed to the affirmation of Slovene creativity abroad. The ensemble gave almost 170 concerts, made 140 recordings for national and international radio stations and appeared in nearly 40 television broadcasts. It also premiered 65 works by nineteen Slovene composers, with 40 of these premiere performances taking place abroad and 25 in Slovenia. More than 110 performers passed through the ensemble’s ranks during its initial two decades of activity. Petrić was for the most part able to bring together excellent musicians, with whom he achieved concert performances of a high level of quality, as demonstrated by the numerous reviews published in domestic and foreign media. The paper focuses primarily on the ensemble’s performances abroad, while also highlighting certain events that marked the concurrent activities of the Society of Slovene Composers.

109. The Slovene Composer Ivo Petrić and Društvo slovenskih skladateljevNiall O’Loughlin, 2026, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: After the Second World War Slovene composers formed a society to organise and coordinate all their activities. Gradually the progress in publishing and making Slovene music available for performance was considerable. In 1972 the composer Ivo Petrić was appointed to Secretary of the Society of Slovene Composers (Društvo slovenskih skladateljev, abbreviated to DSS). He was active in increasing the numbers of works published, the large library of orchestral works for hire and later the recording of numerous works. Petrić was a very important model for his colleagues. Not only did he work tirelessly for all the composers of the society, but he also formed the Slavko Osterc Ensemble to perform mostly new Slovene chamber ensemble works and to record them. As a composer he produced many interesting and impressive works. Early symphonies taking some influence from Hindemith and Prokofiev were followed by a period using techniques from the Polish avant-garde. Later he returned to more traditional techniques. His contribution to the development of serious Slovene music has been very important, with DSS now thriving in all its aspects.

110. Kulturnopolitični milje obdobja začetkov delovanja Društva slovenskih skladateljevAleš Gabrič, 2026, samostojni znanstveni sestavek ali poglavje v monografski publikaciji Opis: Konec 2. svetovne vojne na slovenskih/jugoslovanskih tleh je prinesel bistvene spremembe za delovanje kulturnih društev. Komunistični prevzem oblasti je oviral avtonomnost delovanja kulturnih društev, nekatera pa preprosto ukinil, federalizacija države s priznanjem več narodov pa je omogočila snovanje poklicnih ustanov in društev po nacionalnem ključu, kar je pred vojno ovirala teza o enotnem srbsko-hrvaško-slovenskem narodu. Spremembe, ki jih je prineslo leto 1945, so čutila tudi slovenska glasbena društva, saj nekatera predvojna niso mogla več delovati, na nitki pa je visel tudi obstoj Glasbene matice, ki je pred desetletji obvladovala velik del glasbene scene na Slovenskem. Društvo slovenskih skladateljev je bilo kot stanovsko društvo ustanovljeno decembra 1945. Združilo je skladatelje v Sloveniji in imelo nacionalni značaj, upoštevati pa je moralo tudi ideološkega, saj je njegovo delovanje nadziral državni aparat, ki je vplival na izbor članstva in na njegovo dejavnost. Ta je bila sprva skromnejša od glasbenih društev pred vojno, saj so številne dejavnosti monopolizirale državne ustanove. Ukrep državne oblasti proti posamezniku je npr. lahko pomenil tudi onemogočanje zaposlitve v državni ustanovi ali članstva v stanovskem društvu, izdajanje glasbenega tiska pa so si prisvojila državna založniška podjetja. Šele spremembe kulturne politike po informbirojevskem sporu med Jugoslavijo in Sovjetsko zvezo je na kulturno sceno v začetku petdesetih let prinesel več svežine. To so občutila tudi kulturna društva, tudi Društvo slovenskih skladateljev, saj so se začele možnosti bolj avtonomnega odločanja širiti, na pomenu pa je pridobilo zagovarjanje stanovskih interesov.
