			<title>Slovak Universities: Struggle for Survival Instead of Reforms?</title>
			<link>https://uniba.sk/</link>
			<description>Bratislava, 1 February 2022: For two years, Slovak universities have been at the forefront of the...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[In 2022, Slovak universities will receive EUR 27 million less in state funding than last year, while another EUR 18 million are earmarked for centres of excellence. Although we welcome the support of centres of excellence, we believe this support should come from additional resources rather at the expense of existing subsidies. The sharp rise in the prices of energy and materials is another problem which complicates the day-to-day operation of universities, significantly jeopardizing ongoing European projects. According to preliminary calculations, universities in Slovakia will face a shortfall of more than €12 million in energy costs alone. This year, Comenius University estimates it will pay at least €5 million more for energies than last year. The shortfall in commercial income due to the COVID-19 pandemic compounds the planned reduction of subsidies and the radical rise in energy prices.
All of this means that universities will need to cut development projects and renovations, increase prices for dormitory housing, cancel study programmes and lay off some of their employees. The economic situation of Slovak universities is alarming and it will have considerable social impacts, affecting particularly students. All of this is happening at a time when universities need to make every effort to cope with the new, stricter accreditation rules. Additionally, in February, the National Council of the Slovak Republic will begin discussing an amendment to the Higher Education Act, which has been hotly contested by the universities.<em></em>
<em>&quot;Our university trains doctors, judges, pharmacists, psychologists, speech therapists, teachers, computer scientists, historians and many other professions. Our experts sequence virus genomes and calculate models of how the pandemic will spread. Failure to finance public universities can cause irreparable damage to the entire Slovak society. Once a department or program disappears due to economic restrictions, it might never be restored. This applies particularly to study programmes which may be local, but play an irreplaceable role in Slovakia. Once they disappear, no-one will be able to study them in Slovakia at all - leading to more student-drain and a legitimate absence of internationalization, because foreign students will not feel attracted to come here either, &quot; </em>said Marek Števček, Rector of Comenius University. <em>&quot;Politicians declared a desire to reform universities. However, under these conditions, we can hardly consider development when we have to fight for bare survival, &quot; </em>added the rector of the largest Slovak university.<em></em>
<em>&quot;The Slovak University of Technology entered the new year with a provisional budget. We had no idea how much money we would get from the state and the rules governing the distribution of state subsidies to Slovak universities in 2022 were unclear,&quot; </em>said Oliver Moravčík, Rector of STU. <em>&quot;This is not a good way to foster improvements in quality. We call on the Ministry of Education and on the Government of the Slovak Republic to prevent further destabilization of the academic environment. It is crucial for our economy to offer quality professional training and educate capable computer scientists, architects, mechanical engineers or food chemists. In the current situation, however, even the best of managers would be hard pressed to find adequate tools to guarantee growth,&quot; </em>he added.<em></em>
All three statutory bodies representing universities have now joined the Rectors of Comenius University and STU in expressing concerns about the situation of Slovak public universities:
<ul><li><strong>The Slovak Council of Higher Education Institutions</strong>&nbsp;fundamentally disagrees with the cuts of state subsidies, believing them to be destructive and posing a critical threat to the quality of education and of creative activity.</li><li><strong>The Slovak Rectors' Conference</strong>&nbsp;expressed its outrage at the proposed distribution of subsidies, which it considers to be very destructive, especially in the context of energy price increases, posing a direct threat to the operation of universities. According to the Conference, a destructive intervention like this has not been seen in the history of universities since 1989.</li><li><strong>The Student Council for Higher Education</strong>&nbsp;believes that the reduction of funding for public universities will cause a student drain, which is in direct contradiction to the proclaimed manifesto of the Slovak Government.</li></ul>
 Comenius University and the Slovak University of Technology call on the National Council of the Slovak Republic to give due consideration to the potential negative effects on the Slovak society

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ol><li><strong>Onsite teaching in the summer semester. </strong>The Crisis Staff recommends to return to onsite teaching in the summer semester.

<strong>Update, 28 January 2022:</strong> The Bratislava and Martin Public Health Authorities approved the resolution adopted by CU's Crisis Staff. This means the University can begin to apply the rules in its daily operation and tuition.

			<title>The president appointed three professors</title>
			<link>https://uniba.sk/</link>
			<description>On 18 January 2022, the President of the Slovak Republic, Zuzana Čaputová, appointed 33 new...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The title of Professor was awarded to the following experts from Comenius University:
<ul><li>Prof. MUDr. <strong>Alexandra Bražinová</strong>, PhD., MPH, Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University,</li><li>Prof. MUDr. <strong>Ivana Dedinská</strong>, PhD., Internal Medicine Diseases, Jessenius Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University,</li><li>Prof. Ing. <strong>Vladimír Frecer</strong>, DrSc., Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Comenius University.</li></ul>
<ul type="disc"> </ul>
The President said in her address that the new Professors are accepting their decrees at a difficult time for Slovakia. &quot;The pandemic affected all aspects of our society and it did not spare universities either. The largest survey of its kind in Slovakia, in which 20,000 university students were queried, showed that universities managed the pandemic very well from the organizational point of view.&nbsp;The flip side is that 39% of graduating students are not convinced they obtained adequate knowledge and neither do they feel prepared for life after graduation.&quot;
The president also said that we are at a point when we have an opportunity to revitalize the whole education system and reform our universities and higher education institutions. &quot;In this regard, I rely on your input and contribution, because you know better than anyone else how to advance our education and research to the next level.&quot; 
The President also reminded the newly appointed professors that the society expects them to provide quality education and produce top notch research, while building the society’s respect towards education. &quot;We expect you to be actively involved in public discourse in consequential disputes, and to demonstrate through public debate how actual scientific knowledge differs from noisy, but impactful ignorance,&quot; she added.]]></content:encoded>
