Orientation day this year in Nova Gorica
Today we have been pleased to welcome our new students at the Orientation day, which took place at the EPICentre in Nova Gorica.
The students were greeted by the rector of the University of Nova Gorica, Prof. Dr. Boštjan Golob, who wished the students a very pleasant university life, in particular from the point of view of their own field of study.
A special emphasis was given to the European Cross-border University ACROSS, whose proud member is also the University of Nova Gorica. The ACROSS University unites nine European universities, with more than 110,000 students and 11,000 staff members. As emphasised in her presentation by the University’s vice-rector for education and arts, Prof. Dr. Penka Stateva, the ACROSS University provides students, researchers and a wider public with numerous opportunities for international cooperation and mobility, mutually enriched study offers and access to excellent research infrustructure.
The official part of the event was followed by presentations of the University’s schools, research centres and laboratories, whereby our current students presented the University’s rich range of study offers and research activities. At the same time, representatives of the University’s services presented their work and ways in which they can support the students; and members of the University’s Student Council shared some practical advice and experience from student life.
At the event, we were joined by a number of partner companies and organisations, including the Centre of Green Technologies, Institute for Youth Politics, National Institute for Public Health, Technological Park of Primorska, Regional chamber of commerce Ajdovščina, Northern Primorska chamber of commerce, and Mjob and Arctur company.
The event also included the University of Nova Gorica Day, aimed at a wider public, where science, technology and art meet - with interactive presentations, experiments and technological demonstrations.
We thank all visitors who took part in the event and contributed to a pleasant and lively mood.
Dear students, we wish you a pleasant start of the academic year. We hope that your studying at the University of Nova Gorica will meet your expectations, support your ambitions and bring you much success, new friendships and joy.
