The Institute of Culture and Memory Studies at Scientific Research Centre (ZRC SAZU) was founded in 2008 and is dedicated to investigations of different forms of memory practices related to the events that profoundly marked Slovenia and South-east Europe in the twentieth century. Its researchers are focusing on the multi-layered phenomenon of memory, its social role and political relevance, and its relation with collective imaginations of the future. Since 2011, the institute has also published a book series Cultural Memory which brings original scientific literature dealing with this vibrant field. In addition, the institute is a key actor in driving structural changes in the Slovenian scientific sector towards gender equality and equal opportunities for all.
