already become a recognized nuclear sciences research centre. Its name underwent
changes from: the Institute for Physics, to the Institute for the Investigation of the
Structure of Matter (1950), to the "Boris Kidrič" Institute of Nuclear Sciences (1953),
to arrive to its present name in January, 1992.
The foundation of the Institute was a reflection of the understanding that science is
far too significant for a small developing country to be left to the care of universities
alone. Consequently, with generous help from the Government, the growth of the
Institute continued until the early sixties. By then, two research reactors, several wellequipped
laboratories, and a rich library were put in operation.
