UNIVERZA NA PRIMORSKEM / UNIVERSITY OF PRIMORSKA

The University of Primorska (UP) is a medium-sized, internationally engaged slovenian university with 5,744 students, of whom 1,296 (or 22.56 %) come from 47 foreign countries. It has 782 staff – 516 researchers and higher education teachers, of whom 72 (or 14.09%) come from abroad. The UP hosts more than 270 international researchers every year and enrols 166 PhD students. The University of Primorska is comprised of nine members – beside the research institute, student residences, the university library, there are six faculties: Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Management, Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Tourism Studies – Turistica and Faculty of Health Sciences.
In 2022, the UP became part of Transform4Europe (T4EU), a European university alliance of over 150,000 students and 10,000 researchers. It became a full member in 2023. In addition to the UP, 9 other universities and one associate member form the T4EU alliance. This year UP hosted T4EU week, together with University of Trieste (another member), bringing together around 300 employees and students from all universities.
Moreover, the UP is one of the 38 members of the European Network of Innovative Higher Education Institutions (ENIHEI), an initiative proposed by Mariya Gabriel, (at the time) European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth. ENIHEI is a forum to exchange knowledge, ideas and experience on how higher education can promote an innovation culture, and enable creativity, entrepreneurship and talent.

The UP in 2024/2025 it will carry out 89 study programmes in all three cycles, 19of which are also held in the English language. In addition, the UP organises from 5 to 10 international summer schools on various topics every year as well as over 10 international scientific conferences, including at least a major conference, as it has done for several consecutive years, with more than 1,000 participants and under the patronage of the President of the Republic of Slovenia.
In partnership with the Škocjan Caves Regional Park, the UP launched the UNESCO Chair of Interpretation and Education for Enhancing Integrated Heritage Approaches, and within the Teaming instrument, coordinated the project and successfully established the internationally renowned research institute InnoRenew CoE. UP also established NEBAP Hub, a renowned centre for sustainable built environments, that has successfully acquired a major project, forming “New European Bauhaus Academy Alliance – NEBA Alliance”- the alliance, chaired by the UP as the lead partner.
Internationalisation and project activities go hand in hand with all aspects of UP operations. Furthermore, the University has recently strengthened its role in the region, where the main priorities are science communication (through the activities of the Science Centre and science communication events), work with schoolchildren and teachers, the establishment of an Alumni Office (in frame of GDI UP – Green, Digital and Inclusive UP project), innovation and technology transfer, student projects carried out in collaboration with companies, the promotion of responsible science and a wide range of additional training courses aimed at different target groups.
The UP also ensures the well-being of its community: it has established several student facilities (library access 24/7, reading rooms, study spaces), a university outpatient clinic, a centre for holistic psychological support and a career centre. It also advocates a healthy lifestyle among its employees and students with SportUP, organizing sports activites, and organises events focused on the reception, orientation and integration of students and staff.
