Overview
Jožef Stefan Institute is the leading Slovenian scientific research institute, covering a broad spectrum of basic and applied research. The staff of about 1050 specializes in natural sciences, life sciences and engineering.
Research topics covered concern production and control technologies, communication and computer technologies, knowledge technologies, biotechnologies, new materials, environmental technologies, nanotechnologies, and nuclear engineering.
The mission of the Jožef Stefan Institute is the accumulation - and dissemination - of knowledge at the frontiers of natural science and technology to the benefit of society at large through the pursuit of education, learning, research, and development of high technology at the highest international levels of excellence.
The Institute devotes a considerable amount of effort to transferring the results of its research and knowledge to productive applications and to the market. The Institute has a long tradition in developing collaborative… Research infrastructure and equipment at JSI: overall list of research and lab equipment open to the industry is available on the website http://tehnologije.ijs.si/?page_id=5270I including but not limited to:
