In December, an article titled Digital Revolution and Social Responsibility was published in the magazine Delo, addressing 40 years of social informatics studies in our country. In January, another article titled Artificial Intelligence Has Become an Inevitable Part of the Educational System was published in Mladina, summarizing the findings of a study on AI use among students, conducted at CMI.

Members of the Centre for Methodology and Informatics (assist. prof. Sara Atanasova, PhD, prof. Grega Petrič, PhD, assist. Špela Orehek, PhD, and assist. Kristina Rakinić) attended the 10th European Communication Conference (ECREA), which this year took place at the Faculty of Social Sciences. At the conference, they successfully presented several important research contributions.

From March 26 to April 13, 2024, CMI will host Professors Dr. Howard T. Welser and Dr. Laura W. Black from Ohio University, USA. During their stay, Ted and Laura will give guest lectures in the ICT and Society course, which is part of the Social Informatics master program. The lectures will take place on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, in lecture room 20.

Assoc. prof. dr. Luka Kronegger presents some key findings from a three-year research project titled "Mentorship Relationship in the Context of Scientific Collaboration and Knowledge Production" in the article. One of the project's goals is also the development and formulation of recommendations for establishing and maintaining quality collaboration between doctoral students and mentors.
