New achievements in Slovenian and American students cooperation

21. avgusta, 2024

Students of the 2nd degree programme in Geography at the UP Faculty of Humanities, in cooperation with the American University of Pennsylvania, have successfully completed a joint project. The Slovenian and American students jointly obtained new results of the project 'Building Capacity for Sustainable Virtual Exchange Partnerships: The Pennsylvania State University and The University of Primorska, which was highly supported by the Embassy of the United States of America.

Through weekly assignments and project work, students explored and deepened their knowledge in the use of different ‘Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in spatial planning. They learned about more advanced GIS tools, operations and procedures for spatial planning.

With the knowledge acquired, students are now able to solve more advanced spatial issues and problems and to carry out professional work in the field of spatial planning independently, using cartographic and statistical methods in conjunction with computer-based geographical information systems.

This success of international cooperation demonstrates an outstanding upgrade of their theoretical knowledge and practical experience, which the students will be able to use in their career and personal development.

Through such collaborations at the University of Primorska we strengthen international partnerships, connect students from other parts of the world and open the door for future joint collaborations and international exchanges.
