Research programme

 
Research programs (http://www.arrs.gov.si/en/progproj/rprog/predstavitev.asp) represent an area of research, which is relevant and useful for a longer period of time and which is of such importance for Slovenia that there is a national interest, as defined in the National Research and Development Programme, for long-term research by the programme group in this area. Research programmes are carried out by programme groups in public research institutions, universities, independent education institutions and programme groups organised by public and private legal entities on the basis of concessions.

• Research programme P5-0023: Entrepreneurship for Innovative Society (2004-2008) prolonged for the period 2009-2014.

The core of the research group formed in the late 1990s, when we started with an intensive research of entrepreneurship. Our research programme ‘Podjetništvo za inovativno družbo’ (‘Entrepreneurship for Innovative Society’) helps understand how and with what types of entrepreneurship we are to build an innovative and humane society. The specific circumstances for the implementation of innovative-entrepreneurial activities in a particular country or a broader region influence the size and scope of socially responsible entrepreneurship, which in turn provides a strong support to economic growth and development.

The research group is both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary as its members come from different departments of the Faculty of Economics and Business:
