According to the rector of the University of Nova Gorica, Prof. Dr. Boštjan Golob, the University of Nova Gorica is proud to have become a member of the network of European Cross-Border Universities "Across", joining the excellent universities operating in the border areas. "We are convinced that, despite our small size, we will succeed, with our expertise, in constructively contributing solutions to addressing the problems of today and tomorrow. Especially with our knowledge in the field of environmental science, sustainable approaches to energy and climate, migration and intercultural relations, we address issues that transcend national borders. This is how we are joining the European Higher Education Area of the future and helping to co-create it”, said Prof. Dr. Golob.
Under the coordination of the Chemnitz University of Technology, they are preparing an application for the establishment of a European University, thus co-creating the European Higher Education Area of the future.
