Pioneers into practice - Climate KIC
Program Pioneers into Practice je edini evropski program razvoja znanja, namenjen strokovnjakom s področja nizkoogljičnosti in ostalih področij, povezanih s klimatskimi spremembami. Kot profesionalni mobilni program Climate-KICa združuje strokovnjake iz industrije, malih podjetij, univerz, raziskovalnih ustanov, lokalnih uprav kot tudi neprofitnih in javnih organizacij. Raziskovalci Centra za mednarodno in poslovno pravo v projektu sodelujejo že od leta 2015 kot mentorji pionirjem pri praktičnem spoznavanju osnov sistemskega razmišljanja in uresničevanja inovacij na področju podnebnih sprememb. V Sloveniji vodi projekt Center odličnosti nizko-ogljične tehnologije - CO NOT.
CLIMATHON LJUBLJANA 2019
Climathon je globalni dogodek, ki se hkrati izvaja v 110 mestih po svetu, in na katerem udeleženci skupaj razvijajo rešitve za izzive s katerimi se soočajo mesta zaradi podnebnih sprememb. Climathon pomeni 24 ur intenzivnega premisleka in timskega dela. 24 ur pospešenega bitja srca, adrenalina in kreiranja vizije za prihodnost Ljubljane. Lansko leto je Center za mednarodno in poslovno pravo je v sodelovanju s Centrom odličnosti nizko-ogljične tehnologije - CO NOT organiziral Climathon prvič tudi v Ljubljani. Letos bomo ponovili uspešen dogodek. Več informacij o tem na uredni spletni strani Climatona: https://climathon.climate-kic.org/ 
Challenge for Youth
Zaposlovanje mladih postaja vse večji problem v Evropi. Delodajalci iščejo pri mladih delovne izkušnje in praktično znanje. Projekt "Challenge for Youth" nudi izbranim posameznikom priložnost, da si pridobijo praktično znanje v tujini in ob tem spoznajo delo v tujih organizacijah in inštitutih. Projekt poteka v sodelovanju z Polytechna Consulting in Vzhodno evropskim izobraževalnim in kulturnim centrom iz Republike Češke. Projekt financira Evropski socialni sklad.
Tehnološki transferji in insitutcionalni napredek držav v razvoju: upeh in neuspeh hišnih solarnih sistemov v podeželski Afriki. Vodilni dokumenti mednarodnega okoljskega prava pozivajo razvite države k prenosu tehnologij in znanja v države v razvoju. Uspeh projektov prenosa tehnologij se ocenjuje glede na pozitivne učinke, ki jih imajo ti projekti na okolje v državah v razvoju. Vendar ta raziskovalni projekt dokazuje, da je uspeh projektov tehnoloških transferjev poleg pozitivnega vpliva na okolje odvisen tudi od tega kako projekt upošteva institucionalni napredek v državi v razvoju. Raziskovalni projekt temelji na primerjavi hišnih solarnih sistemov v dveh afriških državah z različnima institucionalnima sistemoma. Rezultati raziskave v Zambiji in Keniji dokazujejo, da se dostop do hišnih solarnih sistemov razlikuje glede na to katere institucije so bolje razvite v posamezni državi. Ker je uspeh projektov prenosa tehnologij odvisen od dostopnosti teh novih tehnologij za lokalno prebivalstvo, ima zato institucionalni napredek bistveno vlogo pri uspehu celotnega projekta. Pravni vidiki med-civilizacijskega dialoga V današnjem svetu različne civilizacije, z različnimi koncepti in sistemi vrednost, vse pogosteje stopajo v stik druga z drugo. Zahodna civilizacija, azijske civilizacije, muslimanski in afriški svet se spopadajo z različnimi pogledi na vprašanja o človekovih pravicah, vlogi običajnega prava v primerjavi z državno zakonodajo, itd. Zato je spoštovanje, razumevanje in toleranca do drugih civilizacij ter dialog med njimi izrednega pomena za svetovni mir in stabilnost. Projekt obravnava med-civilizacijski dialog s pravnega vidika. Tako se osredotoča na tri pomembna področja, kjer so razlike številne: človekove pravice, varstvo okolja in gospodarstvo. S tem projektom želimo predstaviti pravne iniciative med-civilizacijskega dialoga na omenjenih prednostnih področjih na mednarodni, evropski in slovenski ravni ter v okviru mednarodnih organizacij. |

Pioneers into practice - Climate KIC
Program Pioneers into Practice is the only European wide knowledge development and placement program intended for experts working in the field of low-carbon technologies and other fields addressing climate change. As a professional mobility program it unites experts from industry, SMEs, universities, research institutions, municipalities and NGOs. Researchers for the Centre for International and Business Law have participated in the program as coaches since 2015 introducing the pioneers to the basics of systems thinking and promoting system innovations in the field of climate change. In Slovenia the program is lead by Center odličnosti nizko-ogljične tehnologije - CO NOT.
CLIMATHON LJUBLJANA 2019
Climathon is a 24-hour hackathon by Climate-KIC,taking place in 110 cities around the world. It has become a global movement, engaging citizens on climate action—and providing cities with continued support on the unique challenges they face. During the hackathon, entrepreneurs, students, developers and more, get together to solve a climate challenge their city is facing. Last year Centre for International and Business Law together with Center odličnosti nizko-ogljične tehnologije - CO NOT organized Climathon for the first time also in Ljubljana. This year we will repeat the successful project. More about Climathon: https://climathon.climate-kic.org/ 
PAST PROJECTS:
Challenge for Youth
The low employment rate of young people is becoming a serious problem in Europe. Employers increasingly request work experience and practical knowledge from candidates. The project "Challenge for Youth" gives the selected participants the opportunity to gain practical experiences abroad and become familiar with the work of foreign organisations and institutes. The project is managed in cooperation with Polytechna Consulting and East European Education and Culture Centre from Czech Republic. The project is funded by the European Social Fund.
Technology transfer projects and institutional development in the developing states: success and failure of solar home systems in rural Africa
Leading international environmental law documents urge developed states to transfer environmentally sound technology to developing states. The success of these projects is generally assessed on the positive effects the projects have on the environment in the developing states. This research project, however demonstrates that while the effects on the environment are important, the success of a project in a developing State lies in the project’s conformity with the institutional system in that State. The findings are based on a comparative research of two different models of solar home systems in two African states with different institutional development. The research into the solar home systems in Zambia and Kenya illustrates that access to these technologies differs in accordance to which institutions are better developed in a developing state. Since the success of the technology transfer projects depends on the accessibility of the technologies to the local population, the institutional development in the developing state plays a crucial role in success of the whole project. Legal aspects of the dialogue of civilizations In the world of today different civilizations, with different concepts and value systems, are more commonly in contact with each other. The Western civilization, Asian civilizations, the African and Muslim world are coping with different views on questions of human rights, the role of customary laws in contrast with state legislation, etc. The respect for, understanding of and tolerance for other civilizations, as well as the dialogue among them, is thus of essential importance for the stability and world peace. This project assesses the legal aspects of the dialogue among civilizations. It focuses on three important areas: human rights, environmental protection and economy. With this project we want to illustrate the legal initiatives for the dialogue among civilizations in the abovementioned areas on the international, European and Slovenian level as well as within various international organizations. |
