In 2009, members of the program gave a total of 15 invited talks at international scientific meetings and a total of 21 lectures at foreign universities. This confirms the high quality of the group research and its active involvement in international scientific community, which undoubtedly contributes to the overall reputation of the research work in Slovenia in the world.
