About us

The Jožef Stefan Technical School is a secondary school in Trieste where the language of instruction is Slovenian. Since its foundation, it has provided students with a scientific and technological education linked to the world of work. The school has three educational specialisations: Electronics and Electrotechnics, Chemistry, Materials and Biotechnology, Mechanics and Mechatronics. In addition to the professional content, it develops linguistic skills in both the mother tongue and foreign languages, mainly by promoting its international dimension.

The school is in contact with local schools and it actively undertakes cross-border activities with schools in Slovenia and Croatia. In 2013/14 it cooperated with Lasnamäe Mehaanikakool in Tallinn, Estonia within the Leonardo project. In years 2011-2019 it regularly hosted AIESEC university students for six weeks each year for job shadowing. In 2018-23 the school  was the partner in two consecutive E+ projects with Rudbeckgymnasiet Natural science school in Örebro, Sweden. 

In 2023-25 we ran our own KA122 Erasmus+ project: EUreka, Electronics and Mechatronics across Europe. The project included short term students mobilities and job shadowing experiences. In 2023-2025 the school was a partner in two KA210 partnerships: KA210SCH — Innovative International Library Creativity and KA210VET — Adriatic Networking And Cooperation – ANAC, Inclusion And Diversity of Minorities.
