Ludvik Toplak has developed the Alma Mater Europaea ECM and has served as its president since its inception.
In 2007 European Academy of Sciences and Arts Salzburg (EASA) established Alma Mater Europaea as an academic institution that provides an organizational frame and contents for cultural and professional renewal of the Danube region.
A new project was placed in hands of AMEU - ECM under this patronage; namely organization of the Regional Interactive Educational Network (RIEN).
Some of the successful research projects include: The iPad one-to-one program uses technology that is already a big part of students’ lives to make them more excited about learning.
By incorporating digital literacy standards into the curriculum, the goal was to create a teaching environment using the same technology that students were already using outside school.
Because it was important to move away from traditional textbooks, AMEU chose the iPad as a learning tool because it gives students access to the world as it is today.
Students are no longer limited to writing essays and answering multiple-choice questions in order to demonstrate what they have learned.
Alma Mater Europaea also provides support for professional athletes competing in individual sports such as martial arts.
Its most important tasks are passing the statute, approving the curricula, participating in habilitation and appeals proceedings as well as making second instance decisions regarding study matters.
Professor Dr. Ludvik Toplak is an authoritative expert in the field of law and member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.
He worked in economy (1980-1987) and in politics as the president of Družbeno-politični zbor, the first democratically elected parliament of the Republic of Slovenia (1990-1993).
