SAAA was established on the 25th of May 2015 in Melbourne, Australia, and initiated by the Slovenian Embassy in Canberra, and the local community.
Aim
The aim of the Slovenian Australian Academic Association is to establish academic and academic-business collaboration between Slovenia and Australia, European Union, South East Europe and South East Asia.
Vision
The Slovenian Australian Academic Association will be the main connection point between Slovenian and Australian academic institutions, throughout Slovenia, Australia, European Union, South East Europe, and South East Asia.
Mission
The Slovenian Australian Academic Association will:
– engage Slovenians from any country and all levels of education (primary, secondary and tertiary); and
– provide a platform for members to develop, enhance and strengthen their leadership and management skills; and
– identify collaboration and training for Slovenian Australians and Slovenians to become leaders and managers across the education, business, government, non-government sectors; and
– engage the Slovenian diaspora across the world.
We are academics, researchers, students and young entrepreneurs interested in exchange opportunities between Slovenia, Australia as well as their respective regions. We are young or young at heart.
