    Digital Nomads Reveal the Future of Work: What Do Their Stories on Reddit Tell Us?

    The way we work has changed significantly in recent years, and in the coming years, it will become even more digital, mobile, and tailored to individuals. Digital nomads play a crucial role in this transformation. What drives them to choose this lifestyle, how do they shape their careers, and in what ways do they build their networks? Answers to these questions are provided by a study, which included Professor Dr. Matej Černe from the School of Economics and Business at the University of Ljubljana, analyzing over 66,000 discussions on the Reddit forum Digital Nomad.

    Life of lynx across Europe: insights from continental-scale research

    Eurasian lynx are adaptable apex predators that can survive in a large variety of habitats – from Arctic tundra to Mediterranean forests. But only if people allow them. This was the focus of new continental-scale research co-led by researchers from the University of Ljubljana. Two studies published these days provide new insights into lynx foraging behaviour and mortality patterns.

    How nanoparticles for fuel cell applications continuously change

    Proton exchange membrane fuel cells use hydrogen as a fuel and are one possible alternative to internal combustion engines that run on fossil fuels. The wider deployment of fuel cells, and thus the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, is hampered by their cost. They require the expensive and scarce metal platinum to operate efficiently.

    Greentech: Hybrid Technologies for Factories of the Future and the Green Transition

    A reduction of CO2 emissions by 17 million tons, energy savings of nearly 9 billion kWh, and a decrease in material consumption by approximately 800,000 tons over ten years. These are the expected outcomes of the groundbreaking Greentech program, which brings together 11 partners from academia and industry. The program is led by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ljubljana.

  • Beach in Strunjan

    Sunbathing under cliffs is dangerous!

    Why is the walking path between Piran and Fiesa often closed? Why have new rocks appeared in the sea? Why are there piles of stones along the coast? Why are warning signs placed in Strunjan Landscape Park and Debeli rtič? The answer lies in the composition of Slovenia's steep coastal cliffs.

  • Pinnacle Dessert in Australia

    Was Australia Wetter Than Slovenia?

    The world-renowned tall limestone pinnacles in the Pinnacle Desert, located in Australia’s Nambung National Park, are approximately 100,000 years old. At that time, Australia was even wetter than Slovenia. This surprising finding was discovered by scientists using an innovative method, including Prof. Dr. Andrej Šmuc and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Aleš Šoster from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering at the University of Ljubljana, and Dr. Matej Lipar and Dr. Mateja Ferk from the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts (ZRC SAZU).

    Slovenian primary school students without mandatory computer science in the digital age

    Slovenian primary school students achieve below-average results in creative thinking compared to their peers from other countries. Although their achievements in mathematics and science are above average, a noticeable gap exists in reading literacy. Girls perform as well as boys in mathematics, slightly better in science, and significantly better in reading.
