UP projects featured at the Citizen Science Exhibition
The interactive outdoor exhibition presents the best examples of slovene citizen science and, with 30 projects on 22 posters, takes visitors through current research projects in which all residents can participate – not just scientists. Citizen science is a form of scientific research in which anyone can participate as a non-professional researcher, regardless of age, education, or professional knowledge. The […]

Professor Vita Poštuvan visits renowned British universities
The aim of her visit was to deepen international research collaboration in the field of suicidology, facilitate knowledge exchange, and develop global partnerships to strengthen prevention practices and improve understanding of suicidal behaviour. Lectures and Expert Meetings at Oxford At the University of Oxford—one of the world’s most prestigious academic institutions—Profr. Poštuvan was hosted by […]
Research Visit from Utrecht University
Professor Dr. Martin Milanič was one of the organizers of a conference where I also gave a talk. After the conference, he invited me to visit Koper, which led to a fruitful scientific collaboration that I thoroughly enjoyed. This summer, Martin kindly invited me again, and I was happy to accept. At the moment, our […]
Launching UNI-SI: The Festival of Slovenian Universities
UNI-SI provides an excellent opportunity to showcase our university’s study programmes within the broader context of Slovenia’s diverse academic landscape. At the same time, it allows us to offer guidance to prospective students, drawing on our extensive experience in supporting young people in their educational decisions. The festival format was developed through close collaboration between […]
Work Program and List of Candidates
Prof. Dr. Vito Vitrih is therefore the sole candidate on the list for the position of Director of UP IAM.
Postdoc position in Galois Geometry and Group Actions
This project aims to investigate orbits of subspaces under classical group actions in Galois geometry, focusing on their interaction with algebraic varieties over finite fields. The study of non-standard group actions on Segre and Veronese varieties provides new insights into the structure of tensor decompositions, secant varieties, and geometric invariants relevant to combinatorics and algebraic geometry. A key objective […]
Postdoc position in Permutation groups and graph symmetries
The project aims to advance the theory of intersecting families in transitive permutation groups, with emphasis on intersection densities and the Erdős-Ko-Rado (EKR) property, and their interplay with symmetries in vertex-transitive graphs. Research directions include algebraic and combinatorial study of transitive permutation groups, development of computational tools (GAP/MAGMA) for analyzing derangement graphs, and applying these […]
