In Slovenia due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all educational institutions have been closed since 16 March 2020. Some universities still deliver courses online through distance learning, but not all of them.

In cooperation with Slovenia’s Ministry of Education, Science and Sport and Ministry of External Affairs CMEPIUS has offered help to all Slovenian students abroad that want to come back home. At the same time, an initiative has been launched, in cooperation with embassies, for all international students in Slovenia to return home.

Due to the current situation, the deadline for bilateral scholarships has been extended.
