The interdisciplinary doctoral study programme Materials at Graduate School at University of nova Gorica combines expert knowledge in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering and theoretical chemistry. It offers broad knowledge and skills in designing various types of new functional mate- rials, their synthesis and characterisation, under- standing of the relationship between the structure and functional properties of materials and their up-scaling to industrial level. The programme specially focuses on the development of new materials for applications in energy and environ- mental technologies. Students are involved in the research work of the material science laboratories and centres of the University of Nova Gorica and the research laboratories of partner research institutes, such as the National Institute of Chemistry in Ljubljana, with whom they closely cooperate in the implementation of the programme.
