T4EU Welbeing: Intuition Imagination Innovation and Suicidology Conference

On 28-29 May 2025, Transform4Europe Alliance will organize T4EU Welbeing: Intuition Imagination Innovation and Suicidology Conference. This year’s theme is ‘Intervening with a suicidal person: what to do and what to avoid doing?’. Taking place over Zoom, the event will include not just numerous discussions from world renowned experts from the field of suicidology, but also a T4EU mental health workshop in the format of a group discussion. Those wishing to participate are invited to register.

The event is aimed at a wide audience, including students, professionals, academics and practitioners with an interest in suicidality and mental health within the Transform4Europe Alliance and beyond.

Why Join?

  • Expert-Led Discussions: Gain insights from leading professionals in suicidology.
  • Interactive Sessions: Engage in discussions and Q&A opportunities with speakers.

Intuition, Imagination and Innovation in Suicidology conference is an international annual conference organised by the Slovene Centre for Suicide Research (Andrej Marušič Institute, University of Primorska, Slovenia) in memory of the late Prof. Andrej Marušič (around the time of his birthday) to promote intuition, imagination and innovation in research and prevention of suicide and suicidal behaviour. This year’s special edition will see the conference organised as part of the T4EU effort to support mental health and university psychological counselling services.

During the last years, the conference has connected many people in the field of suicide research and prevention and will this further expand its mission within T4EU. The conference has developed into a platform for fruitful discussion between distinguished experts, interacting with young and perspective suicidologists or other eager professionals in the field.

The programme encompasses suicide research and clinical practice and covers theory, research, prevention and interventions in suicidology. The format allows speakers to present their expertise in depth while encouraging participants to contribute their perspectives. Challenges in both research and clinical settings are discussed in depth.

Students, professionals, scholars, practitioners or others interested in the topic of suicidal behaviours from different fields and different parts of the world are invited to attend the conference.

VMU Career Centre Invites You to the Informal Seminar Series “Towards Yourself’25: Business Starts with You”

Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) Career Centre invites students, alumni, and the entire university community to participate in the online meetings of the informal seminar series Towards Yourself ’25 in March and April and take advantage of the virtual CV Clinic.

This year’s theme, Business Starts with You, highlights that entrepreneurship is not just about starting your own company, nor is an entrepreneurial person solely a business owner. Entrepreneurship also means taking responsibility for your career, proactively shaping your career path, and presenting yourself effectively in the job market. It starts with skills that are valuable not only for launching a business but also for advancing in any career—such as the ability to sell your ideas, represent yourself well, and stand out from other candidates.

During the seminars, together with industry professionals, we will explore how to develop an entrepreneurial mindset, build a personal brand, and understand why it is essential to “sell” your competencies to employers. We will discuss self-confidence and ways to leverage your strengths to achieve professional or business goals. Entrepreneurship begins with telling yourself—Yes, I can! So let’s develop our entrepreneurial skills together in the Towards Yourself’25 seminar series!

Students Invited to First Festival of European Culture and Languages in Italy

On 7-11 July, The Transform4Europe Alliance invites VMU BA, MA, and PhD students to attend the Blended Intensive Program (BIP) “First Festival of European Culture and Languages. Tourism and Heritage from the Border” which will take place in Trieste, Italy.

Application submission deadline is 15 June.

The festival will critically examine tourism, European cultural heritage, border regions’ identities and other issues. For this purpose, Trieste, a city deeply influenced by its border identity, was chosen as a case study. Participants will explore the city as “cruisers,” much like the hundreds of tourists arriving daily, but with a critical perspective. Through guided explorations and discussions, they will analyze what is made visible in heritage narratives and what remains hidden, uncovering the contested and layered nature of urban identity.

Designed as a Blended Intensive Program (BIP), the festival moves beyond traditional lecture-based formats, encouraging students to engage actively in interdisciplinary and performative restitutions of their findings. The goal is to challenge conventional representations of heritage and promote a deeper, more nuanced understanding of how history and identity are constructed, particularly in border regions.

3 ECTS credits are granted upon completion of the program.
