The Mysterious World of Fungi is an interactive experience where young participants explore one of the most diverse and fascinating groups of organisms in nature. While learning about fungal life cycles, their relationships with other organisms and their importance for forest ecosystems, participants will also use microscopes to discover the hidden details of fungal structures and reproduction that are invisible to the naked eye.
Pohorje from Space, Space from Pohorje is an educational experience where participants learn about the work of the Noordung Centre and modern Earth observation satellite systems. By exploring satellite images of Pohorje across all four seasons, they will discover how space technologies help monitor environmental changes and improve our understanding of natural processes and cycles.
Nocturnal Pollinators of Pohorje is an experiential and exploratory experience where participants discover the importance of nocturnal moths for plants and other organisms, while exploring the diversity of life that emerges after sunset.
The exhibition Nature and Mythology of Pohorje, on display at the Noordung Centre, reveals the richness of Pohorje’s natural heritage through interpretive texts, illustrations and nature photography. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the unique features of Pohorje’s landscapes and habitats and discover why the region is recognised as one of the most important nature conservation areas in Slovenia and Europe.
Discover the results of the FungiVE citizen science project, where members of the public helped investigate fungi on solar panels and their detection using advanced molecular methods
Methods and results of monitoring and studying wildlife in their natural habitat using modern devices, such as recorders, transmitters, etc., will be presented.
Visitors will explore the hidden rhythms of communication among organisms through hands-on, interactive demonstrations, listening to the vibrational communication of insects and smelling chemical signals used by plants and insects, while discovering how these signals change over time and how human activities can disrupt such communication.
Night sky observation for local groups of primary school students as part of the Vesela šola project.
An interactive look inside diagnostic and research laboratories.
At the Department of Genetic Toxicology, Biotechnology and Systems Biology (GEN), we research processes that are important for human health and the environment. Visitors will be able to…
High-stem meadow orchards are true treasure troves of life. Visitors will be able to discover the diversity of life’s rhythms in the orchard and the surrounding forest through a variety of exploration stations at the “In the Orchard” Interpretation Centre and at information points throughout the orchard. At the exploration stations, experts and researchers will present nine different fascinating topics, inviting visitors to learn through hands-on experiments, conversations and direct observation. An engaging combination of practical activities and encounters with experts will offer visitors an opportunity to discover the hidden world of the orchard and forest and to experience nature in an interactive and inspiring way.
