The Association of Slovenian Geographers is the professional um-
brella institution of Slovene geographers, founded in 1922. There-
fore, the association is one of the oldest professional associations in
the state. Members of the association are independent geographic
and related societies. They organize professional lectures, prepare
educational resource materials, excursions in and around Slovenia,
and other relevant activities.
Initiatives to establish new forms of professional associations and
to incorporate them into the association have recently been pre-
sented.
The association executes the following tasks:
• co-ordinating activities of regional geographic societies,
• supporting professional research,
• stimulating and directing the modernization of teaching,
• preparing professional conferences, lectures and field work,
• promoting and developing international professional co-opera-

tion,
• conducting professional publishing.
