OpeningupSlovenia has been designed as an initiative which would address the multi layered issues present in the educational system. Special care has been taken in the composition of the consortium in order to guarantee an adequate representation of each role: research experience, video lecture and content providers, and pedagogical experience and more. Thus, two of the partners (JSI and K4A) have large research experience in data mining, machine learning and machine translation, and four of them (UPR, UMB, ULJ and UNG) have large higher education experience. Two of the partners (Min. of Education and Chamber of Commerce) have also the adequate political and industrial infrastructure to apply the developments of OpeningupSlovenia.
