Soon after the Faculty establishment in 2006, our professors and assistants became
part of UP FAMNIT Research Group. Their research covers a wide range of scien-
tific sub-disciplines within the fields of Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Computer
Science, and Psychology. UP FAMNIT Research Group is closely connected with
University of Primorska Andrej Marušič Institute (UP IAM), which provides a vi-
brant and productive working environment for scientists carrying out both funda-
mental and applied research. UP IAM supports international scientific cooperation
through establishing connections with similar organizations around the world, and
follows its mission to actively contribute to the goal of the European Union to cre-
ate a knowledge-based society. By transmitting the incentives formed at the junction
of the Mediterranean and the Central European area into the international universi-
ty community, UP IAM also contributes to the sustainable development of the local
community and wider.
»At IAM we firmly believe that among all ways of knowledge transfer, the most
important is the transmission of experiences and knowledge from older generations
to young. Therefore we encourage the participation of FAMNIT students in our
projects – this way our projects get new drive, and students get experience and in-
sight in practical use of gained knowledge.«Associate Professor Vito Vitrih, PhD,
Director of UP IAM
UP IAM consists of four Departments (Department of Technology, Department of
Mathematics, Department of Information Science and Technologies, Department of
Health Study) and two Centres - Slovenian Centre for Suicide Research (SCSR) and
Centre for Industrial Applications (CIA). Young forces from UP FAMNIT class-
rooms and labs are highly welcomed and appreciated within their research and devel-
opment activities. »Programmers and lab assistants at our Department of Technology
and Department of Information Science and Technologies, psychologists and bio-psychol-
ogists at SCSR, and doctoral students as young researchers at the Department of Math-
