Co-financing of hosting

Every year, the Public Scholarship, Development, Disability and Maintenance Fund of the Republic of Slovenia publishes a call for proposals to co-finance hosting visits of Slovenian experts from abroad at Slovenian higher education institutions and research organisations, as well as study or scientific visits of students abroad.

The purpose of the call is to promote the networking of Slovenian experts working abroad and to connect their home organisations with Slovenian higher education institutions (the applicant is the University of Ljubljana). The call provides for the co-financing of one- to twelve-month teaching and/or research visits to Slovenian higher education institutions or research organisations. The funding can be used upon prior agreement with the relevant member of the University of Ljubljana. Please get in touch with the contact person at the member faculty to make arrangements.

More information is available here.

A call has also been published for the co‑financing of study or research visits abroad for students who wish to work with Slovenian higher education teachers or researchers active at accredited educational institutions or research organisations abroad. More information is available here.

The deadline for applications is until the funds are exhausted or until 30 September 2026 at the latest.
