EDUCATION
The Academy of Fine Arts and Design (ALUO) takes pride in its tradition. It was established on 27 October 1945 as the Academyof Fine Arts, providing courses in painting and sculpture. Throughout the years, the Academy has changed its name and expanded its activities in line with its development. In 1984, the studies expanded with the incorporation of industrial design and visual communications design, and a good ten years later it also introduced conservation/restoration. Students can choose among several programmes: Painting (Painting, Graphic arts, Video and new media), Sculpture, Conservation and restoration of works of art (Conservation/ restoration of paintings and polychrome plastic material, Conservation/restoration of wall paintings and stone sculptures), Industrial and applied arts (Industrial design, Applied arts), and Visual communications design (Photography, Graphic design, Illustration).
RESEARCH AND ARTISTIC ACTIVITIES
At the Academy of Fine Arts and Design students gain valuable experiences by participating in various projects and teams, organised together with national and private Slovenian galleries, museums, the Restoration Centre of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia, industrial and design bureaus and several industries. Through the studies, which favour an individual approach, the Academy strives to combine different disciplines in socially responsible processes to maintain the excellence of its educational, artistic, research and development activities. The Academy of Fine Arts and Design provides a dynamic study environment, allowing close cooperation between students, lecturers and other artists and experts.
DEVELOPMENT AND ARTISTIC ACTIVITIES – COOPERATION WITH THE PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SECTOR
The studies are carried out in small groups, where the student develops creativity and innovation through an individual approach involving consultations, corrections, discussions and seminars, emphasising the importance and the role of the disciplines in a broader social context in order to cultivate individual responsibility. The Academy cooperates with Slovenian and foreign partners through student exchanges and the inclusion of domestic and international students in its projects, exhibitions, competitions, conferences, etc.
In 2016, the exhibition ALUO LXX. Past, Present, Future at the Jakopič Gallery in Ljubljana was dedicated to the anniversary of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design. The exhibition was designed as a hybrid spatial installation of the past, present and future, combining the traditional gallery setting with spatial installations and sites intended for live performances of creative/educational activities. In its three months the exhibition ALUO LXX has hosted more than 20 events, round tables, lectures and workshops and received more than 6,000 visitors.

The Academy of Fine Arts and Design regularly arranges extra curriculum activities in relevant areas that are part of the modern concept of fine arts and design. While these events are primarily meant for the Academy’s students, the general public is also welcome to attend. Four years ago all lectures of visiting experts from similar institutions and from the private sector, that focus on various fields of work, were consolidated under a common name – ALUO uho (Eng. ALUO Ear). In the academic year 2017/2018, the faculty successfully held the fourth season of ALUO uho events at the Moderna Coffee Shop in the Ljubljana’s Museum of Modern Art. So far each season was organised in cooperation with a different venue. The forthcoming fifth season (2018/19) will unfold at the Jakopič Gallery, also in Ljubljana’s city centre.

EDUCATION
Studies in the Biotechnical Faculty are organized on all three levels, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral, and include the respective fields: agronomy, biology, biotechnology, microbiology, forestry, wood science and technology, landscape architecture, animal breeding, economics of natural resources, food technology and nutrition. In the studies special emphasis is given to the practical work in laboratories and in the field. Studies at the Biotechnical Faculty are related to basic disciplines, such as biology, and are in tight correlation with the agri-food and forest-wood value chains and with natural resource management.
RESEARCH
The research activity of the Biotechnical Faculty covers a wide range of biotechnological sciences (life sciences). Researchers are engaged in both fundamental and applied research, and in this form they intensely cooperate on practical work. In addition to the biological sciences, their work is largely characterized by agri-food and forest-wood value chains and by both natural resource management and landscape architecture. From the national perspective, food safety is based on research work related to agronomy, animal breeding and food technology. In this recent period special emphasis is being placed on wood, which is one of the most important natural resources in Slovenia. Different modification technologies can be applied to wood, hence it can be used in many applications where wood was not used in the past.
DEVELOPMENT – COOPERATION WITH THE PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SECTOR
The Biotechnical Faculty has a strong connection to knowledge users, such as those coming from the governmental sector and industry. In this recent period, the Biotechnical Faculty plays an important role in the activities running in the frame of the Smart specialization strategy of Slovenia. There are already four projects running in the frame of this domain. The Faculty is additionally included in the preparation of the key strategic documents for the following domains: Sustainable food production, Networks for the transition to a circular economy and Smart buildings and home, including the wood chain.
