Goals by 2020

• Pay particular attention to university sport, libraries and their study spaces
• Pay even more attention to cultural activities, awards and recognitions for achievements of employees and students, collaboration with the student organization 

We are increasing the number of participants in sport programmes under the centre for extracurricular activities. We award students for achievements in extracurricular activities and study achievements as part of the traditional University Week, and where we will for the first time also give out awards to professional co-workers for their work in 2017. With the Council of Art that we founded in 2014 we carried out a range of presentations of departments and study programmes of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, University of Ljubljana (UL ALUO), organized exhibitions, concerts and shows of students of the academy, and in collaboration with UL Members we organized an academy festival and an exhibition of jewels from the UL ALUO collection for its 70th anniversary. We also joined forces with the academies of the University of Ljubljana for the national celebration on Independence and Unity Day in 2014 which we organized ourselves. The symphony orchestra of the Academy of Music performed at the concert commemorating Statehood Day and 25 years of independence of the Republic of Slovenia in the Centre for Fine Arts Bozar in Brussels.
