Activities

Main activities of the Centre include developing and conducting educations within prevention, diagnostics and rehabilitation/treatment of persons with difficulties of social integration, as well as persons with difficulties in speech-language communication. We also provide education programs focused on research methodology in social sciences.

Educations are mostly intended for professionals within social sciences, while description of every education specifies criteria for admission.

Centre’s activities enable professional specialization though different modalities, like courses, seminars, workshops, professional conferences, roundtables etc.

Faculty members developed some educations as a result of their specific scientific and professional expertise, some are parts of wider project activities, while some are organized in collaboration with institutions that showed an interest for specialization in specific topic.
