Researchers from University of Primorska, Institute for heritage and archaeology were in the last one and half decades actively in collaborations with the local and national economy. In the framework of the building project of Slovenian motorways they conducted several large-scale archaeological excavations and post-excavation publications of research. In their fieldwork they used the results and experiences acquired in the framework of basic research project. It was during the research acquired competences which enabled the fast manipulation, critical evaluation and modern analyses of the discoveries. They were, due to their research competences often invited to collaborate as partners in commercial projects. Filed research on the building of motorway infrastructure between Ptuj and the Croatian border are one of such examples of good practice.

AS - Archaeology for all

Institute for archaeology and heritage manages the archaeological park in Simonov zaliv where numerous educational and promotional programs presenting the archaeological heritage are conducted. Irena Lazar coordinated a large international project entitled AS – Archaeology for all in which the informational infrastructure in the park was constructed and educations focusing on the promotion of heritage were conducted. The present popular book, entitled AS – Archaeology for all was created as a manual for the presentation of archaeological parks in the framework of the project. Knowledge and experiences presented in the book derive mostly form research competences which were acquired by the authors and the project leader in the framework of basic research. The popular book, as well as the whole project, represents examples of good practices of transfer of research based knowledge in to the field of communication with the public. It demonstrates the need for the coordination of competences acquired with basic and commercial research as well as with international promotion projects.
