ERA-LEARN country report on Slovenia published

In its series of country reports, ERA-LEARN has published the first report of this kind on Slovenia. Slovenia's performance in European Partnerships is compared to that of Lithuania, Norway, Portugal and Romania. The report shows that Slovenia recognises international R&I cooperation, especially through European Partnerships. The country has made several structural changes that are envisaged to improve the national R&I system and performance including in European Partnerships. While acknowledging the strategic importance and numerous benefits of partnerships, certain challenges exist including funding constraints, administrative burdens, information overload, and limited visibility of results. Slovenia is actively working to address these challenges. Backed up by the changes already made and those planned, Slovenia has a high potential to strengthen its performance in Partnerships. At EU level, concerns were raised about the number and complexity of Partnerships, the need for standardisation and for a central information hub, and the allocation of funding.
