Since 2014, we have co-financed innovative communication activities via the Public Call for the Promotion of Slovene Science Abroad. Innovative communication activities are representing a novel manner of science promotion in Slovenia, ensuring coverage of all scientific disciplines, communication with foreign audiences and combining excellent researchers with experts in the field of media and communication.

The field of new science communication forms has been strengthening since the introduction of co-financing, it is becoming ever more recognized, and most importantly, increasingly accepted both in the research community and in the wider media.

In 2016 we introduced an additional activity to be supported. Establishment, development and maintenance of Global networks, which connect Slovenian scientists abroad with their counterparts in Slovenia are offered support.

Co-financed innovative activities - tools for the promotion of Slovenian science:

• STA Krog (STA Circle), Slovenian Press Agency
