The Faculty of Information Studies in Novo mesto is inviting applications to join the Digi-POP project group, which comprises students and mentors from educational, economic, and non-economic sectors, as part of the call for proposals for “Problem-based learning of students in the workplace: economy, non-economy and non-profit sector in the local/regional environment 2024-2027”/”Problemsko učenje študentov v delovno okolje: gospodarstvo, negospodarstvo in neprofitni sektor v lokalnem/regionalnem okolju 2024-2027” (PUŠ v delovno okolje 2024-2027).
The project “Digital Tool for Data Management for Sustainable Optimization in Companies (Digi-POP)” will design and implement a modern digital solution, i.e. a draft of a digital data management platform, to enable selected rural businesses in the Kočevje municipality to be more productive, competitive, and optimise their processes. The project addresses challenges for the economy in rural and border areas of the country, where businesses often face limited access to advanced technologies, poor infrastructure, limited economic opportunities and lower visibility and connectivity. The digitisation of businesses in these areas can make an important contribution to the revitalisation of rural areas and communities.
