In March 2026, several new research projects funded by the Slovenian national research and innovation agency (ARIS) officially began. These three-year projects were selected through a highly competitive 2025 call for proposals and are led by our colleagues Boris Rogelj and Jerica Sabotič. Additionally, several projects involving our department as a collaborative partner have also received funding. We warmly congratulate all project leaders and participants on this notable achievement and wish them much success in their work.
