Pedagogic Work
Since our beginning in the early sixties, our Institute has been aware of the extreme importance of pedagogic work and the value of disseminating knowledge to younger generations. The NIB has been co-operating in educational processes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels since the very beginning. We encourage positive attitude towards research work in generations of students and thus educate future experts.

Pedagogic workers habilitated at our Institute lecture at Slovene universities and Polytechnics in Nova Gorica.
