Rudolfovo invites you to a scientific seminar by Dr Chii-Dong Chen on building a full-stack superconducting quantum computer, system integration and AI-assisted autonomous calibration.

Rudolfovo is participating in the RECOVREE programme, which is developing advanced technologies for rare earth recycling and magnet reuse while connecting research expertise with industrial solutions.

Rudolfovo is participating in the RhythmOfLife project, which brings science closer to children, young people and the wider public by exploring rhythms in nature and human life.

On Friday, 25 September 2026, Rudolfovo opens its doors to primary and secondary schools as well as the interested public. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about research centres, laboratories and scientific demonstrations.

Rudolfovo, together with its partners, has received five regional awards for innovation, including two gold awards. Two of the awarded innovations have also advanced to the national level of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia awards.

Rudolfovo received a silver award at GZDBK Innovation Day 2026 for the BatteryIQ innovation, developed with Robotina, and a bronze award for a laser measurement system developed with Roletarstvo Medle.

Rudolfovo, together with Robotina d.o.o. and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana, participated in the development of the xEMS innovation, which received the Gold Award for innovation in the Coastal-Karst region and qualified for the national level of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia.

As part of the Rhythm of Life project, children at Sevnica Kindergarten learned about the work of a researcher through a simple experiment with red cabbage, vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda.

Rudolfovo and FUDŠ have received a silver award from the Northern Primorska Chamber of Commerce for the innovation Kulinarična pot – Culinary Trail.

Rudolfovo, together with its partners CNC Borštnar d.o.o. and 3D-ING d.o.o., received a gold award for an innovation that enables autonomous quality control in small-batch production using artificial intelligence, robotics and 3D scanning.

Rudolfovo was visited by the Ambassador of the Republic of India, Amit Narang. At the institute, he was received by the Director, Prof. Dr. Janez Povh, and the Coordinator of International Affairs, Prof. Dr. Borut Rončević.

Researchers from Rudolfovo presented six research contributions at the international conference of the Faculty of Industrial Engineering Novo mesto, covering sustainable strategies, artificial intelligence, quantum approaches and numerical simulations.

Around 43 students attended the first European Researchers’ Night – RhythmOfLife event at Rudolfovo, where they explored robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D technologies and plant-based dyes.

Approximately 35 international students visited Rudolfovo to explore robotics, extended reality, artificial intelligence and the research infrastructure of the Factory of the Future.

On World Intellectual Property Day, we reflect on the importance of knowledge, creativity and the protection of research results created at Rudolfovo.

At the Days of Slovenian Informatics 2026 conference, Rudolfovo presented three projects: Culinary Trail, SRC-EDIH and AdoptQC. The event was also marked by an award received by the institute’s director.

On 31 March 2026, Rudolfovo hosted the Science and Technology Forum 2026 on the use of artificial intelligence in manufacturing companies. Through expert talks, practical case studies and a round table discussion, the forum highlighted key challenges, opportunities and first steps in introducing artificial intelligence into industrial environments.

Rudolfovo and the Development Centre Novo mesto invite you to deeptech meetings on 1 April 2026 in Novo mesto, featuring technologies in machine vision, artificial intelligence, digitisation, and 3D scanning.

Rudolfovo hosted a kick-off event marking the launch of two new ARIS-funded projects in the field of quantum technologies. The CSSInnoRadar and AdoptQC projects will contribute to a better understanding of the adoption and governance of quantum technologies in society and innovation ecosystems.

QEC4QEA is a new European project (2025–2029) funded by the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, establishing a European Centre of Excellence for Quantum-Enhanced Applications. Over four years, 19 partners from eight countries will build a one-stop shop for quantum solutions, support services and training, accelerating the integration of quantum technologies with high-performance computing (HPC).
