4.1. BackgroundRepublic of Slovenia is predominantly rural country. There are two larger urban areas, cities ofLjubljanaandMaribor.Urbanareasarerelativelycloseandeasilyaccessible,sothereisatendencyofpopulationmigrationsfromruralareastowardsurbanareas.SincethedeclarationofindependenceofRepublicofSlovenia,27yearsago,itseconomychangedtothegreatextent.Bigcompaniesandfactories,employingthousandsofcitizens,previouslyscatteredaround thecountry, also in rural areas,wereclosingdownand the focusmoved towards smaller,privatelyorfamilyowned,smallenterprises.TherearemanySMEsacrossthecountry,someofthemexportoriented,however,mostof themencounterchallenges intermsof findingqualifiedhumanresources,financialassetsforR&Dandlackoftime.Thismakesinnovation,creationofnewproductsorimprovementsinexistingproductsandservicesverydifficult.Remaininglargerenterprisesoutsideofurbanareasalsohavedifficultiestofindwellqualifiedhumanresourcesinthelocalenvironments.Challenges described above lead to slow but steady decline of rural areas. As a consequence,elementary and secondary schools have less students and local economies gradually shrink.InfrastructuralandotherinvestmentsarebecomingmoreandmoredependentonthenationalandEuropeanfundsandsubsidies.Ontheotherside,ithastobestatedthatduetohistoricalreasonsruralareas in Slovenia still have their specifics and experience in different economic domains (eg.woodenwareinsoutheastofthecountry).SlovenianNationalReferenceNetworkofCreativeEnvironments(FNS)representsoneofthepossiblemechanismstoovercomechallengesand issuesdescribedaboveaswellas tousethepotentialof

TheFablabNetworkSlovenia(FNS)isalreadybeingestablished.

Additionally, five working groups within FNS, consisting of partners’ representatives, wereestablished.Theirfieldsofworkinclude:

2. listinganddescribingavailablementors,expertiseandskills,tobereusedamongFNSmembers

3. identifyingandspecifyingcontentdomainsinwhichcreativehubsoperateandwilloperate

4. identifying possible and viable business models for creative environments as well as for thesustainabilityoftheFNSitself,aftertheinitial5yearsperiodofpublicfunding.

5. clarifyinglegal,IPRandotheraspectsrelatedtotheoperationofcreativehubsandotherinnovationenvironments.

FNSwillprovidefollowingservicestoitsmembersaswellastothewiderpublic:

This means that all thenecessary steps to establish the FNS will continue in parallel with establishment of theaforementionedservices.

It is expected that funding from the operational programme will start in 2019, enabling FNS toestablishallenvisagedservicesandtoperformthem.It ispresumedthatthefundingwillcontinuethreeyearsaftertheendofthesecondphase,withgradualannualdecline.Afterthecompletionofthe public funding, the FNS will start to collect member fees from its members, apart from 27connectedcreativehubs,alsootherFNSpartners,currently,thenumber is80.Thefeeswilldiffer,dependingontheservicesprovidedtocreativehubsorFNSpartners.
