Professors Emeriti Network. We walk what we talk.
The source of innovation lies in the discovery of problems.
Solving a problem starts by asking the right question (problem identification).
Problems in the modern world cannot be efficiently and effectively detected without the use of information technology.

Purpose
The Professors Emeriti Network was established on October 5, 2020. Organizational networks play a key role in the digital age, supporting collaboration, sharing of experiences and knowledge, innovation, stakeholder engagement, and data management. They are essential for managing the complexity and challenges of the digital landscape and leveraging the benefits of technology for organizational success. While an association may be appropriate for certain situations, the advantages of an organizational network include greater flexibility, collaboration, resource utilization, knowledge and data sharing.
The network members include Professors Emeriti in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, New Zealand, Norway, Slovenia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The network is open and its expansion is expected.
The areas of activity of Professors Emeriti in the network, which is highly interdisciplinary and international, depend on their scientific field and their interest. They collaborate using the Internet in relation to observed problems and possibilities for action.
The network’s website is published on the eRegion.eu portal. The network’s secretary is Jože Gričar, Joze.Gricar@UM.si
