evaluation of the Call on Centres of Excellence (2009) which involved evaluations bynational and by foreign experts that had taken into account social implications andqualities of the public research sphere and co-operating economy. On the basis of allthese studies, the Government took a decision on seven narrow priority fields for theCompetence Centres. In the past two years, we awarded over 120 MEUR from publicfunds to those set out 15 priority fields by means of tenders for Centres of Excellenceand Competence Centres for the period till 2013, and started implementing specializationof the Slovenian science and technology. Complementary to these fields, eight industrialsectors have been pointed out and supported with 185 MEUR within the framework forDevelopment Centres of the Slovene Economy.The prior efforts point to the future development of specialization fields in Slovenia.Instead of on a basis of a top-down decision that could have been made by the policy,possibly supported by expert opinions in studies of technological foresights or by opinionsfrom the economy and from the researchers, the development of smart specializationfields has been established as a permanent and open process that involves all the keystakeholders. The use of specialization conception is becoming implemented with largerextend of public funds on the selected fields.ObjectivesThe aim is to create smart specialization fields of state or region, on which Slovenia willbe able to establish itself as excellent and competitive country in the internationalcontext. RISS as a long-term strategic document defines a way of formulating andevaluating fields of specialization, and not the fields themselves, that must be chosen onthe basis of permanent, inclusive and top-down open process, and substantiated withcomparative analyses of competences in the individual fields that contribute to solvingsocial problems.Two measures for enhanced specialization:1. Establishment of formulation and evaluation of fields of specializationThis shall be permanent and bottom-up open process of recognition and selection ofpriority fields. The latter will be identified on the basis of incentives by individualstakeholders, and substantiated with comparative analyses of their competencies, eitherwithin the framework of research and innovation policies, or either of industrial policies.Selection and development of the selected priority fields will be subject to internal andforeign evaluations every second year, which may lead to changes in the earmarkedsupport to particular priority fields. Therefore, the programmes will be based onpartnerships among quality segments of public and of private sectors, and they will becomplemented by the establishment of target capacities (e.g. personnel andinfrastructure).2. Increasing the extend of funding in the fields of specialization that enable building ofdomestic competences and competitive advantages in the science and the economyWe will invest additional funding into the selected smart specialization fields, and at thesame time, we will continue to support projects in all the other fields, based on theexcellence and perspectives for growth and development, enabling development of newlygenerated knowledge and competences, and ensuring scientific broadness.

They are engines of innovation and the basiccondition for research work. At the same time, in particularly larger and medium-sizedinfrastructures, are essential for excellence of this work and for conducting the mostsophisticated research. Around 50000 researchers from Europe are using at least 300large research infrastructures every year. This results in 3000 to 6000 research articleswith very high impact, chains of patents, spin-offs from Pros, and contracts with the
