EPeKa Scientific and Research Association was established in 2008 as a union of associations. The association was primarily founded to integrate creators in the fields of culture, art, education, science and technology for the project European Capital of Culture 2012 in Maribor. The mission and aims are grounded in the interdisciplinary approach of art and science on a local, regional and international level, with the focus on Slovenian culture in the context of global cross-roads. The main targeted fields are: music, visual arts, ecology, youth and social entrepreneurship.

Exhibitions

The premises of the association also offer a gallery space EPeKa Space. Recently the works by Jernej Forbici (SLO), Bojana Radulovič (MNE), Marko Lipuš (SLO) and of others were on display there.

In 2013 a major exhibition entitled Intergenerational Comics Exhibition - Together for a Better Living was opened and hosted 50 adult and 50 young artists. The exhibition was a part of an international EU funded project coordinated by Info Project from Romania and has involved 11 organisations from various countries (Cyprus, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom).

In 2014 EPeKa was invited to curate '100 years in the Balkans - The comic strip in resistance', an exhibition conducted in partnership with Centre Belge de la Bande Dessinée and Bosnian Cultural Center from Sarajevo. The exhibition that also features Slovene comics is on display at the Belgian Comic Strip Center in Brussels.
