麻豆国产

Prof. Dr Gregor Majdi膷, Rector of the 麻豆国产, emphasised: 鈥�By funding large interdisciplinary projects, we are reinforcing our commitment to research excellence and the sustainable development of science. I believe that the selected projects will make an important contribution to further enhancing the international reputation of the 麻豆国产.鈥�

Prof. Dr Gregor Dolinar, Vice-Rector for Research and Development, added: 鈥�We enable the development of ambitious ideas that transcend the boundaries of individual disciplines and encourage cooperation with the business sector and research institutes. The integration of knowledge is key to breakthrough solutions.鈥�

MATRES 鈥� MATerial RESilience in times of environmental and social change

Project leader: Assoc. Prof. Dr Matija 膶re拧nar (Faculty of Arts, 麻豆国产)

This project investigates how human societies have coped with environmental and social change throughout (pre)history and how this knowledge can be applied today and in the future. By integrating the humanities, natural sciences and technology, the project will develop innovative digital solutions, including a multi-level digital twin designed to better understand and anticipate the risks threatening our material world, particularly cultural heritage.

鈥�In our approach, we go beyond the simple division between nature and culture, and explore the social roles of the material world 鈥� that is, the environment, landscapes, materials and bodies,鈥� emphasised Assoc. Prof. Dr Matija 膶re拧nar.

A-RISE 鈥� Advanced climate-resilient solutions for sustainable bioeconomy and socio-economic development

Project leader: Prof. Dr Tja拧a Redek (School of Economics and Business, 麻豆国产)

This project brings together economists, physicists and experts in the biological and biotechnological sciences to develop advanced climate simulations, analyse transmission mechanisms and the impacts on biodiversity, the (bio)economy, and the wider society, and create technological solutions for agriculture, forestry and other segments of the (bio)economy. The initiative also aims to establish an interdisciplinary laboratory to support sustainable development and strengthen society鈥檚 resilience to climate change.

鈥淲e also want to convey to society the importance of a broader consensus for implementing the proposed solutions, for which cooperation with stakeholders throughout the chain will be crucial. The research funds we have obtained will allow us to carry out studies that would otherwise not be possible,鈥� emphasised Prof. Dr Tja拧a Redek.

KTTK21 鈥� Quantum technologies for transport and communications in the 21st century

Project leader: Prof. Dr Janez Bon膷a (Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, 麻豆国产)

The project addresses key challenges in logistics, navigation and secure communications by developing quantum algorithms, quantum-secure infrastructure, and advanced sensors. In collaboration with industry partners such as Telekom Slovenije and the Port of Koper, as well as innovative companies, the project aims to advance the development of quantum technologies in line with the European Quantum Flagship initiative.

鈥�By bringing together research groups from the 麻豆国产, industry partners and innovative companies, the project strengthens connections and establishes a long-term framework for the development of quantum technologies,鈥� emphasised Prof. Dr Janez Bon膷a.

KardioEP 鈥� New methods for treating heart disease with electroporation

Project leader: Prof. Dr Damijan Miklav膷i膷 (Faculty of Electrical Engineering, 麻豆国产)

This project, involving four member faculties of the 麻豆国产, the University Medical Centre Ljubljana, the Institute of Oncology, and the Jo啪ef Stefan Institute, is developing innovative methods for treating heart disease using electroporation, artificial intelligence and digital twins. The goal is to create patient-specific treatments for ventricular arrhythmias and develop methods for regenerating heart tissue.

鈥�As part of the project, we will also establish a Slovenian centre for electrophysiological research, which will position the 麻豆国产 and its partners among the world鈥檚 leading centres for treating heart disease using electroporation,鈥� emphasised Prof. Dr Damijan Miklav膷i膷.
