His key competencies include research on RTDI policies, Development, RRI and Open Science, Gender issues, social entrepreneurship, co-design and co-creation of technical solutions, as well as coordination and management of international RTDI cooperation projects. Since 2010, Gorazd has conducted dozens of trainings, workshops, info sessions and summer schools on the following topics: successful proposal writing for researchers, responsible research and innovation for different target groups (e.g. policy makers, researchers, Higher Education Institutions, Horizon EUROPE National Contact Points, Horizon Europe Widening Countries, Civil Society Organizations (NGOs) and SMEs). Gorazd has, and continues to be involved in many RTDI projects around the world. Between 2008 and 2024 he was also involved in the organisation of several scientific events (i.e. workshops, focus groups, international conferences) for researchers and policy makers, on topics such as sustainable development, energy, climate change, migration, and NCP systems, etc.). Between 2005 and 2024 he was involved in more than 40 international RTDI projects funded by European Commission (FP5, FP6, FP7, H2020, Horizon Europe, EuropeAid-Technical Assistance, Interreg), other international (e.g. UNESCO, UNIDO) and national funded projects as a researcher, senior research project manager, senior expert or Coordinator.
