The Zois Awards and Recognitions are Slovenia’s highest national awards for achievements in scientific research and development. The Puh Awards and Recognitions represent the country’s highest national honours for inventions, technological and non-technological development achievements, and the application of scientific findings from all fields of science to introducing innovations into economic and social practice. They recognise researchers and innovators whose achievements have made a lasting contribution to the advancement of scientific research, development and innovation in Slovenia.
Among this year’s recipients of the Zois Awards, announced by the responsible ministry and the awards committee at an event held in October, was a representative of the University of Primorska. Prof. Dr Ademir Hujdurović received the Zois Recognition for significant achievements in the field of algebraic and structural graph theory. We warmly congratulate him on this well-deserved recognition!
Named after the Slovenian researcher Žiga Zois, the award has been presented in Slovenia since 1998 to outstanding researchers whose work has made a lasting impact on scientific research and development in the Republic of Slovenia and contributed significantly to its advancement. Since last year, 10 November has also been celebrated in Slovenia as Science Day, an occasion on which the University of Primorska pays special tribute to its award recipients.
