The strategy will be implemented through an Action plan, in which the afore mentioned pillars are supported by concrete measures, necessary to achieve individual goals.
On the adoption of the strategy, the Rector of UP, Prof. Klavdija Kutnar, PhD, commented: »We are very pleased that all UP employees were actively involved in the preparation of such an important document and that it was also presented to students. The workload was intensive, as we defined all the chapters in detail and adopted them with the greatest consensus. We can boast that we have managed to prepare an important document that will give a new impetus to our university. The goals stem from the values and the mission of our institution and are, of course, ambitious and perhaps even daring. However, in this year of adapting to unpredictable conditions, we have already proven how successful we can be, that is why we can expect to even exceed some of the goals.«
