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!

At the INTERNET 2021 conference, that was held from July 18, 2021 to July 22, 2021 – Nice, France, the authors, Borka Jerman Blažič and Primož Cigoj were awarded with »Best paper award« for their contribution ”Web Vulnerability in 2021: Large Scale Inspection, Findings, Analysis and Remedies«. The paper reported about the findings of the research carried out between 2019 and 2021 within the work on PhD thesis, oriented to develop a tool for web vulnerability discovering at large and the service and for announcing the web users and owners about the present vulnerabilities. The research results pointed out that the percentage of vulnerable web sites is lower in regions where population has a high level of digital skills.

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.
