The Fulbright Program operates under a 1993 Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and the Government of Slovenia. An annual average of five to seven scholars and students are sent each way for lecturing, research, and research projects through Fulbright grants ranging from five to ten months. The office cooperates closely with relevant Slovene Government ministries, the two Slovene universities, the Fulbright Committee of Slovenia as well as the relevant U.S. organizations responsible for the administration of the Fulbright scholar and student program in the United States (The Council for International Exchange of Scholars, the Institute of International Education).
