2007-2013 EU funds for renovating Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute and purchasing XRD system

Ljubljana, 14 December 2015 – Government Office for Development and European Cohesion Policy, acting as the Managing Authority for European Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund, approved the project “Adaptation works and purchase of XRD system” worth a little under EUR 400 thousand. European Regional Development Fund contribution under the 2007-2013 programming period amounts to a little under EUR 300 thousand.

The project covers purchasing high-tech equipment (XRD system) and renovating the premises of the Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute where the equipment will be located. The renovated premises will be used by researchers and employees as well as other participants visiting the Institute for educational purposes. Research equipment will also be used by other research organisations. In performing the adaptation works emphasis will be given to energy efficiency with the renovated working environment enhancing safety for the employees and external users.

Purchasing the new high-tech research equipment will establish basic conditions for the development of new technologies and for establishing closer cooperation between the research sphere and users of knowledge which will further strengthen transfer of knowledge from the academic sphere to the public, profit and non-profit sector, and promote taking an interdisciplinary approach to research.
