“With the increase in the funds for science in the state budget in 2018, ARRS was able to increase the scope of approved research projects, significantly improve the quality of the program groups, enable researchers throughout Slovenia to access the most prestigious journals and gradually implement more visible activities in the field of open access”, noted the Director of the ARRS, Prof József Györkös in his introductory note.

The Annual Report also provides data on (co)funding the ARRS research activity from the state budget funds.
