TITUTE FOR INTERCULTURAL STUDIES
The Institute for Intercultural Studies (IIS) UP FH was established in 2008 as a re-
search group of the faculty. The research areas correspond with the fields of study
programs in humanities and social sciences at the UP FH. Therefore, the IIS is a mul-
tidisciplinary research institute, that carries out research and projects in the fields of
history, geography, anthropology, ethnology, linguistics, literary sciences, and me-
dia. The emphasis is on the study of the Adriatic, Alpine and Karst areas and inter-
disciplinarity.
At the IIS we strive to develop research activities within the UP FH and to this end,
we support the strengthening of fundamental research work as well as applied re-
search in the belief that the transfer of knowledge to practice in the present time
is crucial for humanities. IIS activities also include research and application project
work related to education.
The IIS aims at providing a research-friendly and stimulating environment and en-
suring favourable conditions for research work for younger researchers at doctoral
and postdoctoral levels. At the IIS we especially nurture the transfer of research re-
sults into the study process and the involvement of higher education colleagues and
students in research work.
By extending the membership to all FH UP employees having a research code
through the IIS research group and to others working with the FH (who are not
members of another Institute), today IIS counts more than 40 members.
As a leading partner and partner organisation, the IIS has been participating in sev-
eral national and international projects. We list only those currently underway. As
the leading partner, the IIS is working on a history project on the topic of integrated
peasant economics, led by Dr Aleksander Panjek and under the same leadership on
the anthropological project with the researcher Dr Marija Mojca Terčelj on the 100th
birthday of the Slovene anthropologist Branislava Sušnik (CRP). Partner national and
international projects include Worlds of Related Coercions and Work (COST) histo-
ry, Dr Aleksander Panjek, on Postimperial Transitions (ARRS), Dr Petra Kavrečič;
and Migration Control (ARRS); in the field of anthropology, ethnology Interreg pro-
