The University of Ljubljana possesses a rich tradition. It ranks as a very large university, with more than 63,000 graduate and postgraduate students. Approximately 4000 higher education teachers are employed in the 22 faculties, 3 arts academies and one university college. The university was founded in 1919 on the basis of centuries of educational tradition, remaining the only Slovenian university for half a century. The University is based in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, a relatively large Central-European city with over 300.000 inhabitants. Students account for more than one-seventh of the population, giving the city a youthful and lively character.
IRI UL has been established by UL in order to perform interdisciplinary, scientific, research, development and professional projects. The task of IRI is also to protect the intellectual property of the UL; to establish the entrepreneurial partnership between the industry and the University and to transfer the research and development outcomes into commercial applications for public use and benefits. Therefore IRI will establish a long run and reciprocal partnership between University of Ljubljana, Slovene industry and public institutions in order to foster research and development activities.
