Since 1997, it has also published an annual competition for master’s theses and doctoral dissertations, awarding prizes to work which represents an important and original contribution to knowledge about the multi-faceted reality of Slovenes in Italy. To date, SLORI has awarded more than 70 young researchers. The competition is open to candidates who have successfully completed their master’s or doctoral theses at any university in Italy, Slovenia or abroad and deal with the topic of the Slovene national minority in Italy, its social structure, its role within its settlement and social space, its development processes related to the economic, legal and educational spheres, interethnic relations, identity and language practices, and intercultural communication. Although the submitted works may also deal with other minority studies or other ethnic minorities, they must include a comparison with the Slovene community in Italy or have a certain degree of relevance for the understanding of the Slovene reality in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
