Research areas/Laboratories

UP has 6 faculties focusing on different areas. The most research-intensive staff is working in the fields of:

• • Computer Science (Data sciences, AI, Human-Computer Interaction),
  • Health Prevention and Sport Sciences,
  • Heritage,
  • Mathematics (Discrete Mathematics, Criptography),
  • Molecular Ecology and Conservation Biology,
  • Sustainable Built Environment (Wood Modification, Restorative Ergonomic Environmental Design),

while you may find active colleagues also in Agriculture, Education, Geography, Management and Finance, Tourism Studies.

At the moment several research programmes funded by Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency or internally are running at UP:

• Advanced Manufacturing Technologies for High Quality and Sustainable Production
• Algebra, discrete mathematics, probability and game theory
• Alive? Alive! Research and prevention of suicide
• Animal health, environment and food safety
• Computationally intensive methods in theoretical computer science, discrete mathematics, combinatorial optimization, and numerical analysis and algebra with applications in natural and social sciences
• Conservation biology, from molecules to ecosystem
• Development and evaluation of new approaches to cancer treatment
• Digital restructuring deficient professions for society 5.0 (industry 4.0)
• Management of education and employability in knowledge society
• Mathematical modelling and encryption: from theoretical concepts to real-life applications
