UNG at the World Education Fair in Sofia, 21st March 2026

In Sofia, Bulgaria, the traditional international education fair World Education Fair took place on March 21, 2026. The University of Nova Gorica was represented at the Study in Slovenia stand by the Study in Slovenia initiative coordinator Marko Kastelic (CMEPIUS) and staff from the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Sofia.

This year, both the stand and the live presentation in the hall attracted a large number of prospective students, as well as their parents, who had the opportunity to learn about the advantages of studying at UNG and other Slovenian universities. At the event, also mobility programmes like Erasmus+ were presented, as well as European university alliances, including Across, whose member is also the University of Nova Gorica.

We would like to thank the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Sofia for the opportunity to participate in the fair and for their support during the event, as well as CMEPIUS for representing us. Special thanks also go to the fair organizer, Integral EDU, whose smart visitor registration system provided prospective students with a personalized selection of the most suitable study destination, and delighted us with the information that Slovenia was the first choice of study destination for many young people!
