"Long-term cooperation with renowned universities across Europe can help us in joint research projects, the most important EU grant schemes (Horizon, ERC...), in education, targeted support of engineering and doctoral students in various options of modern courses, trainings or exchange programs and ultimately in the rankings. By implementing good examples from our partners and modern universities, we can and must progress," STU vice-rector Maximilián Strémy assessed.
