8 Access to knowledge

Access to Knowledge (A2K) refers to the right to participate in the creation, distribution, and acquisition of raw information, secondary analyses of data, and knowledge-embedded tools and services. The A2K critical discourse emphasizes the value of openness and highlights the impact of knowledge policy on international development.

At the Institute, we are collecting the knowledge and create unique knowledge base at the level of the institute. There are three different mechanisms implementing throughout the year:

Pregl colloquium

The Pregl Colloquium was named after Friderik (Fritz) Pregl, a chemist and medical doctor of Slovenian origin. In 1923 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for his invention of the method of micro-analysis of organic substances”. In this series of lectures we host distinguished scientists from all over the world, working in the field of chemistry and chemistry-related sciences. The lectures are open to a broad scientific communion and are advertised on our webpage, as well as at all research institutions in Ljubljana. The official language of the Pregl colloquium is English. The Colloquium takes place once a month in the Big Lecture Hall, usually on a third Thursday at 1 pm, if not stated otherwise.
