BIOSCIENCE AND HUMAN 2026: Who Will Fix the World?
11 November 2026 at 4 p.m.
University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty, Dr Janez Hribar Hall
Jamnikarjeva 101, Ljubljana
Solar power plants, artificial intelligence, new technologies and sustainable materials – solutions we can see and admire. But can they truly work without what often remains invisible: healthy soil, clean water, forests and biodiversity?
At Bioscience and Human 2026, we will address a question that concerns us all:
Who will fix the world?
We will meet people whose knowledge, research and courage are already helping them find concrete solutions for the future and new ways for humanity, nature and technology to coexist. Their stories will show that the greatest solutions are not necessarily the most dazzling – often, the most important foundations are those we notice only when they begin to disappear.
The evening will bring together renowned experts, early-career researchers and students. During the Bioscience Slam “A Solution in Five Minutes”, participants will present their ideas, research and innovations, while the audience will select the most compelling presentation.
Children will also be given a special voice – the generation that will one day inherit the world we adults are shaping today.
The event will be held under the honorary patronage of the President of the Republic of Slovenia, Dr Nataša Pirc Musar, and forms part of the Month of Science 2026 programme. The Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation is participating as a co-organiser.
Join us on 11 November 2026 at 4 p.m. at the University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty.
Perhaps the world will not be fixed by a single person, one technology or one great idea. But we can begin to repair it by first recognising what truly holds it together.
The names of our guests and the detailed programme will be announced soon.
Applications for the Bioscience Slam
We invite early-career researchers and students at all levels and from different faculties to participate. Applications for the Bioscience Slam “A Solution in Five Minutes” are open until 9 October 2026.
