MISSION

The “Environmental Technologies” Centre of Excellence brings together the resources of research institutes and universities with the needs of enterprises and industry so as to assure an integral approach and solutions to environmental problems. 14 interdisciplinary R&D projects, currently in progress, deal with a broad variety of environmental problems: development of analytical methods, application of sustainable methods of wastewater treatment, as well as development and optimisation of new environmentally sound production technologies. The vision of the Centre is to develop competitive knowledge, technologies and products which will preserve the environment in line with the principles of sustainable development. Through the Centre, a network of research and engineering capacities was formed that is capable of increasing the innovation potential of the Slovene economy, accelerating the regional development and to offer new possibilities of education and training in R&D and technology. The Centre provides innovative methods and fields of co-operation with enterprises and industry to young researchers from the academic sphere and at the same time, access to top research facilities and knowledge to partners from industry.
