History

The University of Nova Gorica grew out of the School of Environmental Sciences founded in 1995 by the City Municipality of Nova Gorica and the Jožef Stefan Institute. Later two more institutions joined as the founders: the Research Center of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts and the Municipality of Ajdovščina. In March 2006, the former Nova Gorica Polytechnic was renamed the University of Nova Gorica. Today the university has 7 schools and 10 research institutes.

Notes
    gollark: I don't think half of America actually has said as much.
    gollark: I mean, sure, but to continue making somewhat unrelated meta-level claims, almost regardless of how much that's actually happening there'll still be a few people complaining about it.
    gollark: The important thing is probably... quantitative data about the amounts and change of each?
    gollark: Regardless of what's actually happening with news, you can probably dredge up a decent amount of examples of people complaining about being too censored *and* the other way round.
    gollark: With the butterfly-weather-control example that's derived from, you can't actually track every butterfly and simulate the air movements resulting from this (yet, with current technology and algorithms), but you can just assume some amount of random noise (from that and other sources) which make predictions about the weather unreliable over large time intervals.
