    Report summary

    The institute offers study programs that educate for employable professions, while providing suitable premises and equipment for the implementation of activities, if not their own, in cooperation with partners. The institute employs eminent researchers, and a good connection with the academic, economic and social environment in the narrower and wider region has also been demonstrated. A formalized process of monitoring study processes and quality assurance based on the ISO standard has been established. Perhaps a more active and systematic approach could be taken to encourage and motivate the scientific research work of employed teachers and researchers, which would lead to a corresponding increase in the number of quality publications and international recognition. A fast and efficient way of resolving possible student complaints has been established, as well as the flexibility of the institution and listening to possible problems. In the interviews with the students, satisfaction with the implementation of practical education was expressed, as well as the desire for practical work as a method of teaching to be present to an even greater extent. The results of the survey on the satisfaction of participants in practical training must be published in a self-evaluation report. Experts suggest that the institute conducts a more detailed analysis of the reasons that hinder students and higher education teachers and associates from entering international mobility. Several library opportunities and partial inconsistencies were also identified: report and plan on library development is missing, the reading rooms in libraries are small or very small, the library is not existent in all locations where the education takes place, the working hours of the library are too modest, so it would be worth extending the working hours of the library and hiring a fulltime qualified librarian. In their response, they comprehensively explained the already implemented and planned measures to realize the identified opportunities.

    Report summary

    Alma Mater Europaea - European Centre Maribor has submitted an application to SQAA for an extension of accreditation as a higher education institution, specifically for the accreditation of a new distant unit located at Mariborska cesta 3, Celje. The expert group assessed the institution against all the prescribed standards for renewing the accreditation of a higher education institution (18), with a focus on various aspects directly related to the distant unit in Celje. The results indicate that the institution has adequate physical/spatial accommodations, planned staffing (including teaching and support staff), dedicated laboratories/specialty classrooms, well-organized library facilities, and a student affairs office. However, the expert group has identified areas that require improvement, such as upgrading classroom equipment to higher standards (including ergonomic furniture and computer equipment), adding more study materials to the library, and providing space/room for student activities.

    Report summary

    The doctoral study program Applied Artificial Intelligence (UUI) proposed by Alma Mater Europæa - European Center, Maribor (AMEU-ECM) addresses the field of applied sciences, which is a rarity in Slovenia. Therefore, the proposer should be especially praised for this step. Moreover, it also managed to include as a staff in the program some really excellent experts. The study program itself roughly consists of three parts: courses in fundamental knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) with the methodology of research work, optional courses and the research work itself. The selection of electives is from the fields of humanities and social sciences and medicine. In spite of the fact that this is an applied science program, it would be highly advisable to increase the amount of mandatory courses in fundamentals of AI to enable greater penetration of applied research. Moreover, if we look at comparable study programs in the world, the proportion of fundamental content is higher in them: Harvard - Applied Artificial Intelligence for Health Care, Saint Luis University - Integrated and Applied Sciences, University of Massachusetts College of Engineering - Engineering and Applied Science etc. The plan for running the program seems adequate. There is a promise of tight and broad connection with a number of institutions which permits students strong involvement directly in the research projects. The involvement is predominantly through the supervisors. In this it seems that the first choice of communication between the student and professor seems to be some kind of e-communication. This is not to be praised as it is more dangerous to decrease the quality of communication and moreover it does not facilitate building the student community that is very important for graduates’ professional life. In reviewing the list of human resources, one can notice a high portion of professors that are not fully employed by the applicant. There are two immediate dangers originating from this fact. The first one is that it is highly likely that they do not do the research work at the applicant directly which results potentially in a more volatile research environment. The second danger is that it is more likely for them to leave the program than in case of full employment. Consequently, we strongly suggest NAKVIS that it regularly checks on the execution of the program and in particular whether the staff that promised to participate 21 indeed participates; and whether the quality of research in AI and AAI does at the applicant in fact improves. A similar check also be performed with respect of collaboration with the institutions enlisted in the application.
