Long-term and stable cooperation between Iskraemeco and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, are of key importance for research and development of cutting-edge technologies, knowledge and talent development, and the impact of young innovative students on the changes in the environment and society.
Prof. Dr. Gregor Dolinar, Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and heads of laboratories attended a working meeting with the representatives of Iskraemeco to discuss the possibilities of deepening and expanding the collaboration between the company and the Faculty. “The meeting was very productive; we identified several contact points between Iskraemeco and the Faculty and agreed on several concrete forms of collaboration,” said Prof. Dr. Gregor Dolinar, Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana. “Iskraemeco’s project Green Penguin, which addresses the challenges of sustainable development, has a lot of potential. We also found some common ground in the field of developing and testing of Iskraemeco products, energy management, smart cities, augmented and virtual reality, as well as training and education. We will meet again in autumn at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and we are all looking forward to that.”
