Na Fakultetu filozofije i religijskih znanosti Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, od 7. do 12. srpnja 2025. godine, održana je treća ljetna škola CEEPUS mreže Philosophy and Interdisciplinarity pod naslovom Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Philosophy, Art and Religion. Program je okupio studente i nastavnike iz Austrije, Hrvatske, Češke, Poljske, Srbije, Slovačke i Slovenije, a sadržavao je raznolik raspored predavanja s popratnim raspravama, seminara, radionica i okruglih stolova.
Sudionici su upoznali probrana interdisciplinarna područja istraživanja filozofije, umjetnosti, religije, znanosti i tehnologije koja nisu dio njihovih redovitih studijskih programa. Bavili su se i manje zastupljenim disciplinama poput estetike popularne glazbe, filozofije psihijatrije, filozofije dijaloga i filozofije humora. Interaktivne radionice organizirane su u popodnevnim satima, primjerice neo-sokratski dijalog, spekulativna medicina 19. stoljeća i dizajn igara.
Sudjelovanjem na školi međunarodni i domaći sudionici upoznali su se s novim interdisciplinarnim pristupima i metodologijama koje im inače nisu dostupne na matičnim institucijama. Program je tako predstavljao vrijedan dodatak postojećim kurikulima obogativši ih novim znanjima te potaknuvši razvoj kritičkoga mišljenja, dijaloga i međunarodne suradnje.
Ukupno je na školi sudjelovalo 32 međunarodna stipendista (23 studenta i 9 nastavnika) te 12 domaćih sudionika (5 studenata i 7 nastavnika). Uz akademski dio programa, kulturne i društvene aktivnosti poput obilaska Zagreba i izleta na Medvednicu dodatno su potaknule umrežavanje i razmjenu iskustava u neformalnom okruženju.
Ovakva inicijativa potiče međunarodne mobilnosti i interdisciplinarna istraživanja koja uključuju filozofiju ili se provode u području filozofije, a studentima ujedno nudi jedinstvenu priliku za nadopunjivanje znanja, razvoj vještina i izgradnju trajnih kontakata. Srdačno stoga pozivamo sve zainteresirane studente i nastavnike da prate rad naše mreže i prijave se na njene buduće aktivnosti!

The third summer school of the CEEPUS network “Philosophy and Interdisciplinarity” held in Zagreb
At the Faculty of Philosophy and Religious Studies, University of Zagreb, from 7 to 12 July 2025, the third summer school of the CEEPUS network Philosophy and Interdisciplinarity took place under the title Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Philosophy, Art and Religion. The programme gathered students and teachers from Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia, and featured a diverse schedule of lectures with discussions, seminars, workshops, and round tables.
Participants explored selected interdisciplinary research fields across philosophy, art, religion, science, and technology not included in their study programmes. These included some less known disciplines such as aesthetics of popular music, philosophy of psychiatry, philosophy of dialogue, and philosophy of humour. Interactive workshops were held in the evening, e.g., Neo-Socratic dialogue, nineteenth‑century speculative medicine, and game design.
By joining the school, participants accessed new interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies otherwise unavailable at their home institutions. The programme thus served as a valuable complement to existing curricula, enriching them with new knowledge and strengthening critical thinking, dialogue, and international collaboration.
In total, the school welcomed 32 international scholarship holders (23 students and 9 teachers) and 12 local (Croatian) participants (5 students and 7 teachers). Alongside the academic programme, cultural and social activities such as a sightseeing tour of Zagreb and an excursion to Medvednica mountain encouraged networking and exchange of experiences in an informal setting.
Such initiatives highlight the importance of international mobility and interdisciplinary research which includes philosophy or is based in the field of philosophy, while offering students unique opportunities to broaden knowledge, develop skills, and build lasting contacts. We warmly encourage all interested students and lecturers to follow the work of our network and apply for future activities.
