Student Projects in the Working Environment

For many years, the University of Primorska has received funding to run student projects that help build stronger ties between the university and the wider community, including businesses, public institutions, and non-profit organizations. These projects support open and flexible ways for students to move between education, work, and society. The European Union, through the European Social Fund, and the Republic of Slovenia, through the competent ministry, provide the funding.

Since the 2013/2014 academic year, UP FAMNIT has carried out many student projects with students from most of its study programmes and partners from both business and public sectors. The main aim is to encourage students and the university to work together with the community, especially so students can gain hands-on experience and develop professional skills in real workplaces.

An important feature of student projects is their interdisciplinary nature. UP FAMNIT students also participate in projects organized by other faculties and units of the University of Primorska. Likewise, students from other members of the University of Primorska, as well as from certain faculties of the University of Ljubljana, the University of Maribor, and the University of Nova Gorica, take part in UP FAMNIT projects.
