Award Ceremony at the End of ASEF Tutorial program for ASEF Junior Fellows generation 2022 

On Wednesday, 21 February, ASEF awarded diplomas to the ASEF Junior Fellows generation 2022 at the end of the ASEF Tutorial Program. ASEF Tutorial Program is a program where ASEF Junior Fellows independently research, discuss and write papers on socially relevant topics under the guidance of tutors in their respective fields.

Dr. Rok Sekirnik, the head of ASEF Tutorial Program, addressed ASEF Junior Fellows and other guests. In his opening remarks, he emphasized the program’s long standing excellence and expressed gratitude to both past and future generations of ASEF Tutors and ASEF Junior Fellows.

Dr. Jure Leskovec, co-founder of ASEF, also greeted those present, highlighting that the event was intended to celebrate the ASEF Junior Fellows generation 2022 and  mark the beginning of ASEF Junior Fellows generation 2023. He emphasized that through the program, ASEF Junior Fellows gain the ability for structured thinking and formal expression, while also learning from the rich experiences of their tutors and passing on valuable knowledge to younger generations. He encouraged the new generation of ASEF Junior Fellows to approach their work actively and zealously. 

The British Ambassador, Tiffany Sadler, who has been serving her mandate in Slovenia for the fourth year, also addressed the audience. Speaking from personal experience, she emphasized the key features of tutorial programs, namely the significance of  diverse perspectives and the establishment of new relationships and networking.
