The rector of the University of Nova Gorica, Prof. Dr. Boštjan Golob, and the University’s first secretary, Mr. Frenk Mavrič MSc, acquainted the Ambassador with our educational and research activities, our cooperation with Azerbaijani universities and research institutes, and the Across European University, which also includes the University of Nova Gorica.

The University of Nova Gorica has been having a successful cooperation with the Azerbaijan State Agricultural University in Ganja for many years now, as the two universities signed an agreement on joint mentorship and double doctorate programme in the fields of environmental sciences and agriculture.

The two parties expressed their interest to strengthen further cooperation between the University of Nova Gorica and the academic-research institutions in Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani Ambassador and the rector also defined the fields of a potential cooperation. In the near future we aim to send a group of representatives from the Goriška region to Azerbaijan so as to strengthen mutual connections.
