I lead or have led the following projects at the University of Maribor level or at the Institute for Computer Science UM FERI level: 

• GDI – European Genomic Data infrastructure (funders EU – Digital Europe (50%) and MVZI (50%), duration from 1.11.2022 – 31.10.2026 – more at https://gdi.onemilliongenomes.eu/). Partners from 23 EU countries participate in the project. Together with them, we will establish a federation of genomic data archives and services. The establishment of the Slovenian node (data archive and service ecosystem) is led by the Faculty of Medicine from the University of Ljubljana in terms of content and establishment of processes, while the implementation of the data archive and service ecosystem is carried out by the Laboratory for Heterogeneous Computer Systems (LHRS UM – FERI).
• FAITH - Facing Academic Integrity Threats (funder EU Erasmus+, duration from 28.2.2022 to 27.2.2025). Within the project, based on good practices at the international level, we proposed criteria for minimum standards in the field of academic integrity policies in Europe with partners from Germany, Turkey, Portugal, and the Czech Republic. We also developed learning materials and conducted summer schools for teaching staff and students. In August 2023, we conducted a summer school in Maribor (more at https://enai-summerschool2023.um.si/). We also provided guidelines for preventing, deterring, and detecting academic misconduct. Information support was also developed and a support network was established to help victims of unethical practices.
• PUPP - Partnership on University Plagiarism Prevention (funder SSHRC Canada, duration from 1.10.2021 to 30.9.2027 – more at https://pupp.uqo.ca/en/home/ ). 35 partners from Canada, the USA, and Europe are developing a strategy for preventing plagiarism at universities. Based on conducting surveys, interviews, and written assignments for students and professors, partners will gain new insights that they will use in developing a new strategy and teaching methods in the field of plagiarism prevention.
• EUROCC2  (funders EUROHPC JU (50%) and MVZI (50%), duration from 1.1.2023 to 1.3.2026). Within this project, 33 national competence centers were established to support processing on high-performance computers (HPC). The task of national competence centers is to coordinate activities at the national level in all areas related to HPC, and they also serve as the main contact point for users from education, public administration, academic institutions and industry, for current and future HPC professionals and the general public. LHRS UM-FERI coordinates work on the project within UM, collaborates with other national competence centers, public administration, industry, E-DIHs, with centers of excellence in the field of HPC, and conducts courses in the field of GPU programming and big data management and tools to support reproducibility of research conducted on high-performance computers.
