Ministers Discuss Slovenia-Argentina Science Cooperation
Slovenian Higher Education, Science and Technology Minister Mojca Kucler Dolinar discussed on Monday efforts to bolster Slovenian-Argentinean cooperation in science as she held talks with her visiting Argentinean counterpart Lino Baranao.
Kucler Dolinar told the press after the talks in Ljubljana that the pair discussed Slovenian EU presidency activities in research and development.
The Slovenian minister pointed out that 25 Slovenian-Argentinean research projects have been carried out so far, based on the 1997 bilateral agreement on cooperation in science and technology.
A tender for new joint projects is open at the moment and the sixth meeting of the Slovenia-Argentina committee for scientific and technological cooperation will take place in the autumn, she added.
Baranao, who is visiting Slovenia for the first time, assessed that scientific and technological ties between the countries were good. These ties can also help promote cooperation in other areas, he added.
The Argentinean official visited the Jozef Stefan Institute, Slovenia's premiere research institution, earlier in the day. He also visited the University of Nova Gorica and the MC Medicor cardiology and cardiovascular surgery centre later today as part of his two-day visit.
Kucler Dolinar also highlighted that the 1999 agreement between the EU and Argentina promoted cooperation in science and research.
