Selected projects

The project registration number and the full name of the organisation that awarded the grant: KEGA č. 014UPJŠ-4/2025, Cultural and Educational Grant Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic Name of the project: Internationalisation, Innovation and Modernisation of a Modular Education in Political Science Project implementation period: 1/2025-12/2027 Status in the project: Deputy project manager Brief characteristics of the project: The main goal of the project is to internationalise, innovate and modernise the education in political science at the Faculty of Arts of UPJŠ and in order to adapt to the new forms of teaching- to at the same time complement the classical forms of teaching with new educational approaches. The aim of the project is to reform the teaching process (both the content itself and the ways of teaching) of the study programme in political science, which, through the module Theory of Politics and the newly created module International Relations within the Bachelor's and Master's degree programme, allows students to focus on a more narrowly defined area of political science research through the selection of classes within the module. |
The project registration number and the full name of the organisation that awarded the grant: VEGA 1/0645/25, Scientific Grant Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic and Slovak Academy of Sciences is an internal grant system for the Ministry of Education and Slovak Academy of Sciences Name of the project: Instrumentalisation of Historical Events as a Subject of Recodification Schemes in Political and Propaganda Practice in Slovakia after 1989 (Selected Aspects of Ethnic Relations) Project implementation period: 1/2025-12/2027 Status in the project: Co-researcher Brief characteristics of the project: The aim of the project is to carry out political science and historical research on the instrumentalisation of selected historical events with a focus on some aspects of ethnic relations in Slovakia. We will investigate their use as a tool of politics (governmental, party, regional) in political and propaganda practice in Slovakia after 1989. In particular, the researchers will examine the interpretation of historical events in the context of significant events in domestic (elections, changes of governments, ethnic political parties) and foreign politics (Slovakia's accession to the EU and NATO, the war in Ukraine). The research team will examine the way in which these historical events are instrumentalised, commemorated and used in politics (governmental, party, regional) and the role played by the interpretation of historical events and their commemoration (monuments and memorials, public rallies, political conflicts). |
