Research programmes and projects

The research programmes and projects are (co)funded by the Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency (ARIS) and the Development Fund of the University of Ljubljana. Research programmes represent an area of research that is expected to be up-to-date and useful over a longer period of time. Research projects are carried out through basic, applied and postdoctoral projects co-financed by the ARIS. The Development Fund of the University of Ljubljana promotes multidisciplinary research linking University of Ljubljana members and researchers to find answers to complex global societal challenges and to prepare project applications for the calls of the new European research and innovation programme Horizon Europe.
