UNIVERSITY OF LJUBLJANA is the largest research
organisation in Slovenia
However as the majority of European state
universities, there is a problem with the
integral financing.
THE MAGNA CHARTA of European Universities
states Freedom in research and teaching is the
fundamental principle of university life, and
governments and universities, each as far as in
them lies, must ensure respect for this
fundamental requirement. To preserve freedom in
research and teaching, the instruments
appropriate to realize that freedom must be made
available to all members of the university
community. Recruitment of teachers, and
regulation of their status, must obey the
principle that research is inseparable from
teaching.
IF YOU ARE FREE, YOU DO NOT NEED MONEY.

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
We establish fruitful collaboration
between Geozentrum, Institut f. Mineralogie und
Kristallographie Universitaet Wien, (principal
investigators Prof.Dr. E. Tillmanns, Prof.Dr.
G.Giester, Dr. C.Lengauer ) and Faculty of
Chemistry and Chemical Technology, University of
Ljubljana, (principal investigators Prof.Dr. I.
Leban, Prof.Dr. P. Šegedin, Prof.Dr. A. Meden,
Dr. N. Lah)
Unformal collaboration started in 1994 Bilateral
projects 2000-2001 SLO-A 10, 2002-2003 SLO-A
30 Structural features of Metal Carboxylates
(financing cca. 2000 Euro/year)
RESULTS Using excellent experimental facilities
in Vienna 12 common reseach papers (IF from
0.57 to 3.28) Exchange of students under M.-Curie
program and with support of OEAD Members of the
Ph.D. examination boards
I just want that this type of collaboration will
last in the future. Because cca. 15 of
European research money is spent on
administration not on research.
