She maintains dual scholarly interests in substantive EU law and meta-legal issues including research assessment methodologies, academic integrity frameworks, and conflict of interest management systems.
Professor Hojnik's publication trajectory from 2012-2021 reveals progressive specialization from foundational free movement analysis toward emerging regulatory challenges in digital markets and sustainable business models. Her work consistently appears in premier EU law journals with particular emphasis on practical implementation challenges of EU legal principles.

- European Commission Jean Monnet Chair on smart and sharing economy law
- Six-time ranking among Slovenia's 10 most influential lawyers (2011-2022)
As an educator, she supervises extensive thesis work (100+ theses), coaches EU Law Moot Court teams, and directs the longstanding Slovenian law student negotiations competition. Her active Jean Monnet projects provide substantial research infrastructure and international collaboration opportunities for students.
She contributes to academic governance through editorial roles and participates in the Brown Bag Lunch Group, an international network addressing technology policy challenges. Her current PhD studies in History at Maribor's Faculty of Arts demonstrate ongoing scholarly development beyond her primary legal expertise.
