In relation to upgrading the energy efficiency of University of Ljubljana buildings, the most important activities of the University of Ljubljana Innovation and Development Institute (IRI UL) in 2016 focused on upgrading the Energy Information System of the University of Ljubljana. New Mobistyle (Horizon 2020) and Edufootprint (Interreg MED) projects represent development activities by IRI UL to change user habits towards reducing energy consumption, and to improve the quality of indoor environment, health and lifestyle. They also refer to the measurement of the overall carbon footprint of a certain educational institution.
The pursuit of the mission in identifying and transferring the University of Ljubljana knowledge (the Institute as an intermediary) refers to the transfer of inventions and project solutions from the University of Ljubljana to the economy, and to the inclusion of researchers in the identified needs of the economy. Important focus in this area covers student protect teams and institutionalisation of a model within the University of Ljubljana. The basis for the activities is a successfully completed EURL3A project (Erasmus, Knowledge Alliance) and the coordination of the new People project (Erasmus+, Knowledge Alliance). The Institute’s major achievements refer to the successful implementation of the Compohub project (Erasmus+, Strategic Partnerships) – production of occupational qualification for manufacturers of composite products.
