Klemenčič has been a member of the Slovenian research team within the Global Network on Academic Profession in Knowledge Societies (APIKS), which is a continuation of decades long international comparative research on Changing Academic Profession (CAP). Over 20 national teams are conducting system-wide surveys of academic staff based on a common questionnaire. The Slovenian team conducted a system-wide survey in 2013 and 2018 on the conditions of academic work and the state of academic profession. Klemenčič was specifically interested in the questions of academic imbreeding in the Slovenian academic space and academic staff's attitudes towards internationalisation of higher education.
