Letno poročilo 2005

Beseda direktorja
Word of the Director
Na Kemijskem in{titutu smo jasno opredelili
svoje poslanstvo in dolgoro~ne cilje. Osnovni
cilj je visoka raven raziskav, ki edina omogo~a
tudi kvalitetno izobra`evanje, inovativnost in
dobro sodelovanje z gospodarstvom. Visoko
raven raziskav pa lahko na in{titutu dosegajo
vrhunski in visoko motivirani raziskovalci s
sodobno raziskovalno opremo in ustreznimi
pogoji za delo.
V preteklosti je bila pomembna ovira za
doseganje znanstvenih dose`kov na najvi{ji
svetovni ravni neustrezna raziskovalna infrastruktura.
Te`avna je bila predvsem nabava ve~je
in dra`je raziskovalne opreme za relativno
majhne raziskovalne skupine. Leto 2005 je bilo
posebej uspe{no za in{titut pri nabavi ve~je
raziskovalne opreme. Za uspeh je bila klju~na
povezava interesov ve~ raziskovalcev in
raziskovalnih skupin znotraj in{tituta. Lani
najpomembnej{a dokon~ana investicija je bila
nabava 800 MHz NMR spektrometra, ki je tudi
najve~ja investicija v posamezno raziskovalno
opremo v Sloveniji v zadnjih letih. Nabavo
novega NMR spektrometra je omogo~ilo
odli~no raziskovalno delo in dobra organiziranost
NMR centra in usklajeno delovanje

Word of the Director
At the National Institute of Chemistry, we have
clearly set out our mission and long-term goals.
The fundamental goal is a high level of research,
which can also contribute to high-quality education,
innovation, and strong cooperation with
industry. A high level of research can be reached
at the Institute by top-level highly motivated
researchers with modern research equipment
and suitable working conditions.
In the past, one of the key roadblocks to scientific
achievement on a world-class level was
unsuitable research infrastructure. It was difficult
to acquire larger, more expensive pieces of
research equipment for relatively small research
groups. However, 2005 was a particularly successful
year for the Institute in terms of the acquisition
of larger research equipment. The key
to the success of this endeavor was bringing
together the interests of many researchers and
research groups within the Institute. Last year
the most important investment was the purchase
of an 800 MHz NMR spectrometer, which
was also the largest investment in an individual
piece of research equipment in Slovenia in the
past few years. The acquisition of the new NMR
spectrometer was made possible by the excel-
