About us

The excursion of the West Coast of the United States of America that students at the conclusion of their study on the Faculty of Computer and Information Science take part, has become an annual tradition.

The goal of the excursion, this year's eleventh in a row, is to establish contacts with worldly known companies and universities and learn their way of business, organization and work. We students will learn important new knowledge and experiences, which will help us when applying for a job in Slovenian companies.

Our excursion starts in April 2011 and will last about six weeks. We will meet with representatives of leading computer companies and their development centers. Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Google, Oracle and HP are just some of the companies we will visit during our trip. They are considered to be top IT companies and trend setters in this industry. We will also visit a few wordly known universities, where we intend to learn about their study program and habits and attend lectures of some very known lecturers.

After our return to Slovenia we are going to share experiences gained on the excursion with other Slovenian students and company representatives. This excursion is also an excellent opportunity to promote Slovenia and its technological companies in the US and making contacts with US companies for further cooperation between both countries in the field of IT. It will also contribute to a tighter collaboration between our homeland companies and the faculty.

We would like to invite you to follow our tour on this blog. All the news and submissions regarding the excursion will be published here. You can also take a look at the presentation of this year's participants and read our offer for the sponsors.




This year 15 graduate students of The Faculty of Computer and Information Science from University of Ljubljana will take part in the excursion. If you would like to get additional information about each participant, click the images below:

About the association


The Information Science Students Association is a non-profit association of students attending the Faculty of Computer and Information Science at the University of Ljubljana. The association was founded with the intention to provide students an insight into the activity of worldly known computer companies and universities at the end of their study. This way they will gain knowledge and experience, which will be useful when applying for their first job.

Members of the association organise an annual excursion to the United States of America. Our faculty contributes to the trip with a letter of support from the Dean and other heads of the faculty.
