Movement Neuroscience and Neurorehabilitation took place in Piran, bringing together over thirty participants from various countries.
The event was organized by partners of the European project TBrainBoost (Horizon Europe) under the leadership of our lecturer, Professor Dr. Uroš Marušič, whose work connects leading researchers, students, and educators in movement neuroscience.
Alma Mater Europaea University also content-wise and logistically supported the summer school, which, through its mission, integrates scientific excellence, practical application, and education. The program was held at the Marine Biology Station in Piran and the Science and Research Centre in Koper, where participants spent five days exploring digital tools in rehabilitation, artificial intelligence, motor learning, neuroplasticity, and modern approaches to neurorehabilitation.
“Our goal is to create an environment where knowledge is not only transferred but co-created,” emphasized Prof. Dr. Marušič. “TBrainBoost is more than just a project – it is a movement that builds bridges between scientific theory and clinical practice.”
As part of the program, Alma Mater Europaea University lecturers also took part.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tine Kovačič, head of the Master’s program in Health Sciences, presented his research on integrating principles of motor learning and neuroplasticity into hippotherapy for children with developmental disorders.
Lecturer Tatjana Horvat conducted a hands-on workshop using HiTop therapeutic technology, which enables more targeted and personalized stimulation in rehabilitation.
Both presentations attracted significant interest from international experts.
