J. Stefan Institute (http://www.ijs.si) (founded 1949) is a research organisation for pure and applied research in the natural sciences and technology. At present the Institute, totalling about 700, has a research staff of nearly 450: about 200 of them are postgraduates temporarily employed while obtaining their degrees, almost 260 have doctorates, and 100 have permanent professorships or temporary teaching assignments at the Universities (Ljubljana and Maribor).

 

The Department of Knowledge Technologies of the J. Stefan Institute (http:/kt.ijs.si) consists of 20 researchers, the head of Department is Prof. Dr. Nada Lavrac. It was founded in 1979, initially as the Artificial Intelligence group. In the first ten years, the emphasis was on theoretical research that provided a solid background for later application projects. The research work has been performed within projects funded within European research projects, as well as by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sport of Slovenia.
