The School of Applied Sciences of the University of Nova Gorica organizes guided visits to the Sinhrotron Elettra scientific centre near Trieste. The visits are designed for secondary school students who are particularly interested in physics.

So far the centre has been visited by the students of the Kranj Grammar School as well as the students who achieved best results at the regional competition in physics. In May and June, visits will be organized for the students of the Veno Pilon Secondary School from Ajdovščina and the students who achieved best results at the national competition of physics. In future, visits for other secondary schools in Slovenia are planned in order to inspire the students to study physics. Lately, there has been a decline in the number of secondary school students enrolling in this study programme despite the fact that there is a lack of young researchers in the fields of natural sciences and engineering.
