Dušan Gabrijelčič and Živa Stepančič presented a paper titled “Projekt UPORABLJAJ PAMETNO” (co-authors:  Anton Kos, Maja Ivančič, Kristijan Koželj, Leon Maruša, Miran Rošer, Andrej Krpič, Arso Savanović, Boštjan Turinek, Miha Smolnikar, in Gordana Stojnšek Žnidarec) at the 15th Conference of Slovenian Electric Power Engineers CIGRE  CIRED, in Laško, 19. – 21. October 2021. We presented the pre-liminary results of the UPORABLJAJ PAMETNO project, where we estimate the flexibility potential of household consumers and define the representative groups of electric grid users based on their consumption profile.

We also received the best paper award  for the paper “Predstavitev rezultatov pilotnega vključevanja odjemalcev v programe prilagajanja odjema z uporabo dinamičnega tarifiranja v mednarodnem projektu Flex4Grid”, 2019 (Results of the dynamic tariff scheme pilot application in the context of European project Flex4Grid). In the name of all authors: Anton Kos, Kristijan Koželj, Damjan Bobek, Živa Stepančič in Dušan Gabrijelčič, the award was accepted by our project partners from Elektro Celje d.d. (A. Kos, K. Koželj and D. Bobek).

Dr. Živa Stepančič from the Laboratory of Open Systems and Networks had a department seminar titled: “Presentation seminar: Modelling of flexibility potential in smart grids and statistical support in projects” on Thursday,  7th October 2021. Presentation of her work included the presentation of the research results as well as the description of  her currents tasks on various european and industrial projects under way at the Laboratory of Open Systems and Networks. The seminar was  carried out virtually. 

The infrastructure centre of Laboratory of open systems and networks has been supporting the implementation of the event of 27. Slovenian festival of science, organized by Slovenian science foundation. We have sucessfully provided their home in physically and vuirtual form. We are looking forward for our next cooperation for upcoming European festival of science in November 2021!

On November 10–11,  26. Slovenian Science Festival was in session with international participation. With the help of the infrastructure group for e-Research environments, our Laboratory for Open Systems and Networks enabled the Slovenian Science Foundation to implement a virtual event Science Festival 2020.

This year’s 26. Slovenian Science Festival was held in a hybrid form, remotely, due to the measures taken against the spread of coronavirus.

The patron of the festival was Mag. Violeta Bulc, former European Commissioner.

Our co-worker, Dr. Tanja Pavleska has recently published an article titled “The good, the bad and the urgent – tacking information disorder” Information disorder is an umbrella term for three distinct, but related phenomena: disinformation, misinformation and malinformation. These are commonly known under the names of fake news, rumours, doxing, harmful content, and so on. Many efforts to combat information disorder have been taken, as it is directly related to some of the most important aspects of our daily lives: guarding democratic and societal values, nurturing trust in the actors involved in establishing those values, exercising fundamental rights and freedoms, and similar.
