The symposium Hundred years of Slovene Studies on Charles University in Prague was organized by doc. dr. Alenka Jensterle-Doležal and dr.Andrej Šurla in Prague (November 2014).
Slovene studies were taught and spread during a 100 year period at Charles University. In 1914 the Slovene lectureship was established at the Faculty of Arts at Charles University in Prague.
Slovene-Czech relations had been very intensive and rich since the 19th century. The beginning of the lectureship represented a milestone in relations, as it made the option of learning the Slovene language available to Czech society and reflected the context of Slovene-Czech relations.
In symposium participated scholars and teachers from various countries and universities, particularly from the Czech Republic and Slovenia. The papers were written in both the Slovene and Czech languages.
