4. Media/Digital Literacy, Access to Information and European Democracy in the Light of Information and Communication Technology AdaptationAlenka Pandiloska Jurak, 2026, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: Access to information is strongly related to forming personal/social opinions, one of the critical building blocks of democratic governance, while access to information is also crucially linked to media literacy, which affects the separation between quality, reliable information and misleading information. In the dissemination of information and communication with state authorities and other stakeholders, the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is also essential. However, the availability and usage of those technologies differ among the EU macro-regions. This article shows the foundations of adopting ICT technologies in European macro-regions. It reviews data on how many people do not use a computer and how much they use ICT to communicate with public authorities. The data used in the research covers the years between 2008 and 2021, with which we will try to determine if there are changes in this topic.
Keywords: Technology adaptation, ICT, macro-regions, European Union, democracy

5. Industry 5.0 in EU macro-regional policies : past, present and futureAlenka Pandiloska Jurak, 2026, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: The Industry 5.0 approach to the industry is to contribute to three of the Commission’s priorities: “An economy that works for people”, “European Green Deal”, and “Europe fit for the digital age”. One of the possibilities for implementing the approach is through Macro-regional Strategies and Interreg, an interregional cooperation programme, cofunded by the European Union. The beneficiaries of the programme are not only the EU member states that are part of the regions, but also regions from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, witzerland, and Ukraine, which represents an essential spillover effect. This paper aims to present the integration of the Industry 5.0 strategy into acro-regional strategies and how it is already reflected in EU macro-regional strategies today. In doing so, we will also demonstrate opportunities for future macro-regional strategies to upgrade them or introduce elements of Industry 5.0 into macro-regional development.

6. From Policy to Practice : EU Circular Economy Legislation and Slovenia’s Implementation Challenges—A Systematic ReviewErika Džajić Uršič, Alenka Pandiloska Jurak, Jelena Topić Božič, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: The Circular Economy (CE) has become a foundation of the European Union’s sustainability strategy, aiming to dissociate economic growth from resource use. This article examines the legislative and monitoring frameworks underpinning the European Union’s CE transition, with a particular focus on Slovenia. A systematic review conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, EU-level policy analysis, and national indicator evaluation, this article explores the alignment between Slovenia’s national strategies and EU objectives. While Slovenia has demonstrated policy ambition and performs well in municipal recycling, it underperforms in circular material use and domestic material consumption. Governance fragmentation, limited sectoral integration, and monitoring challenges are key barriers. The study contributes to CE research by offering a country-level perspective on policy translation and performance. Recommendations are proposed to strengthen governance, data systems, and sector-specific roadmaps. These conclusions offer valuable insights for scholars and policymakers involved in implementing CE across multi-level governance systems.
Keywords: circular economy, EU legislation, Slovenia, policy implementation, governance, monitoring indicators, sustainability transition
