During the last week of January 2026, Comenius University Bratislava welcomed twenty motivated future teachers from five universities of the ENLIGHT alliance to take part in an intensive course on Inclusive Education. The course was designed for students in teacher education programmes with the aim of preparing them to work sensitively and effectively with the diverse needs of pupils.

Each of the five in-person days consisted of three workshops in which lecturers introduced participants to key concepts of inclusive education: a sense of belonging (Cohen, 2022), relationship-rich education (Felten and Lambert, 2020), the classroom as a safe and democratic space (bell hooks, 2002), and inclusive approaches to assessment. Discussions and interactive activities were intended to support reflection and the practical application of these ideas in participants’ own future teaching practice.

The course was led by Doctor Gabriela Pleschová together with her colleagues from Comenius University in Bratislava – Doctor Agnes Simon, Doctor Ivana Juríková, and Doctor Simona Bajáková – and by Doctor Mahshid Alvandi from the University of Groningen. Together they created a supportive international environment for joint learning and the sharing of experiences. The curriculum was also co-developed with the involvement of Doctor Angelika Thielsch from the University of Göttingen.

The course received highly positive feedback from students, who rated it 9 out of 10 in an anonymous survey. Participants particularly appreciated the discussions that formed part of every workshop, during which they could “hear the opinions of people from different countries and experience the international dimension of teaching.” One student highlighted the strong link between the course and practice:

“The course provided us with a wide range of inclusive teaching strategies that we can use in our future pedagogical practice. The excursion to the Rozmanitá school was one of the most valuable elements for me, as it allowed us to see the practical application of these strategies directly in the field.”

In February, students will complete their final assignments and take part in an online meeting where they will jointly evaluate and formally conclude the course.

The ENLIGHT University Alliance Office at Comenius University in Bratislava has launched a pilot project of ENLIGHT Faculty Ambassadors. The aim of this initiative is to create a network of 1–2 student ambassadors at each faculty of Comenius University who will connect students, the university, and the ENLIGHT alliance. The first joint meeting of the ambassadors took place on Wednesday, 21 January 2026, marking the beginning of efforts to build an active student community within Comenius University.

The program responds to the fact that many students have heard about ENLIGHT but are not familiar with the specific opportunities it offers, or do not feel actively involved in alliance activities. ENLIGHT ambassadors are intended to bridge this gap – to clearly communicate the benefits of ENLIGHT, improve two-way communication, and strengthen the inclusion of the student perspective directly in the functioning of the alliance.

The role of ambassadors is to serve as the first point of contact for students, to help organize events, share information about opportunities for involvement, and collect feedback. At the same time, ambassadors gain concrete benefits, such as participation in international conferences and ENLIGHT events, as well as the opportunity to become part of the ENLIGHT Student Network.

A strong European university alliance is built not only on agreements between institutions, but above all on the active engagement of students. ENLIGHT ambassadors help ensure that students are well informed, involved, and feel that ENLIGHT is here for them.

Lecturers from Comenius University Bratislava participated as instructors in the Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) entitled “Fostering Critical Thinking via Global Collaboration and Presentation,” an international course focused on developing critical thinking skills. PaedDr. Stanislav Kováč, PhD., from the Faculty of Natural Sciences, and PaedDr. PhDr. Tomáš Hamar, PhD., from the Faculty of Medicine, have been involved in teaching and preparing this recurring international course for several years.

The BIP brought together students and educators from four ENLIGHT universities – Bratislava, Bordeaux, Göttingen, and Tartu – enabling them to work in international teams on evaluating information and creating joint presentations. The course consisted of an online phase (13 October – 19 December 2025) and an in-person session in Bordeaux (1–6 December 2025). In addition to developing academic skills, students gained valuable experience in international collaboration, interdisciplinary learning, and improving their English language proficiency.

The program also included cultural activities and city tours, allowing students to explore the local culture. “I joined this BIP to expand my international network and improve my presentation skills,” says Annabel, a psychology student from Tartu.

This BIP successfully connected students and educators from different countries and disciplines, highlighting the importance of interfaculty cooperation. The involvement of Comenius University lecturers made a significant contribution to the quality and interdisciplinary dimension of the program.

The ENLIGHT General Meeting 2025, hosted by Comenius University Bratislava (CU), brought together representatives from ten ENLIGHT universities for three days of reflection, strategic meetings, and celebration. Set against the backdrop of Slovakia’s capital, the gathering marked a significant milestone: five years since the founding of the ENLIGHT alliance. This year’s theme — “ENLIGHT at Five: Successes, Lessons, and the Road Ahead” — framed the meeting’s discussions, keynote contributions, and forward-looking decisions.

A Warm Welcome in Bratislava

Comenius University welcomed the ENLIGHT community with exceptional hospitality, offering a programme that highlighted both the academic life of the institution and the cultural richness of the city and the country.

Reflecting on Five Years of ENLIGHT

The opening day featured a plenary session dedicated to five years of ENLIGHT, narrated through personal stories. The Rector of CU, Prof. Marek Števček opened the first plenary with a heartfelt speech followed by contributions from long-standing ENLIGHT actors including Jonathan Schalk, ENLIGHT Project Manager at Uppsala University; Dr Peter Hanajík, Head of Green Network at CU; Dr Leah Vandeveer, Secretary General of ENLIGHT; Dr Enda Howley, University of Galway; Glória Nunes Rodrigues, International Manager at Euskampus Fundazioa; Adrián Binka (CU) and Alina Prince (University of Bern), Co-Presidents of the ENLIGHT Student Network; and CU Vice-Rector for International Relations, Associate Prof. Jozef Tancer.

Their reflections highlighted how ENLIGHT has grown from a collaborative project into a committed and trust-based partnership grounded in shared values.

Keynote: From Mandate to Impact

A central moment of the programme was the keynote address “From Mandate to Impact” delivered by the Slovak Ombudsman Dr Róbert Dobrovodský. His talk connected the institutional mission of the ombudsman with the alliance’s broader commitment to societal engagement and human rights.

Dr Dobrovodský highlighted the constitutional basis and strong independence of the Ombudsman’s Office in Slovakia, stressing the need for proactive work in the field:
“An ombudsman needs to do the street work – he needs to touch the fundamental rights,” he noted, illustrating his approach through examples such as visits to prisons and detention centres.

The keynote concluded with a vivid discussion on academic freedom and the role of independent institutions in safeguarding democratic society, a theme that resonated strongly across the ENLIGHT community.

A Turning Point in ENLIGHT Governance

One of the most consequential outcomes of the meeting was the formal appointment of the first ENLIGHT President — a milestone in the alliance’s governance evolution.

Over the past year, ENLIGHT has examined how its governance structure should adapt to the rapidly evolving European higher education landscape. The need for stronger, visible, and high-level representation led to the creation of a presidential role tasked with steering the alliance’s long-term vision and representing ENLIGHT on the European stage.

At the Bratislava meeting, Secretary General Dr Leah Vandeveer announced the Governing Board’s unanimous decision to appoint: Professor Anders Hagfeldt, Rector of Uppsala University, as ENLIGHT President.

His appointment marks the beginning of a new chapter: ENLIGHT stepping forward not only as a collaborative network, but as a unified, strategically led European alliance.

Closing Reflections: A New Chapter Begins

In her closing speech, Leah Vandeveer captured the spirit of the gathering: gratitude, pride, and anticipation. She emphasised the alliance’s evolution from building structures to building transformation:

• ENLIGHT’s legal entity
• its joint doctoral framework
• its growing student community
• its culture of bottom-up academic engagement
• and its recognised leadership in societal impact

These, she said, are not just accomplishments but springboards for the next five years.

“ENLIGHT at Five is a milestone. ENLIGHT in Five is a promise.”
With this phrase, she encouraged the alliance to continue choosing collaboration — even when complex — and to commit to shaping a more united and ambitious European higher education landscape.

The second evening of the General Meeting also showcased the cultural richness of Slovakia through two memorable artistic programmes. Participants were treated to the contemporary theatre performance “Ordinary Things” by the ensemble Honey & Dust. Later that night, the gala dinner at Moyzes Hall concluded with an energising immersion into Slovak tradition: a vibrant folk music and dance performance followed by an interactive dance workshop led by the student folklore ensemble Gymnik.

Lívia Rosina, a student at the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Comenius University in Bratislava, won second place in the international ENLIGHT Inclusion Award competition for her project WheelShare. She personally received the award at the Teaching & Learning Conference, held on 8–10 October 2025 in Uppsala, Sweden.

WheelShare: Inclusion Reimagined

The WheelShare project focuses on supporting young people with physical disabilities through a series of workshops designed to develop their presentation and communication skills, as well as their self-confidence. The uniqueness of the project lies in its approach of so-called “reverse inclusion,” where people with physical disabilities themselves act as trainers and also work with participants without disabilities. This model fosters mutual understanding and helps break down barriers between communities.

The ENLIGHT Inclusion Award jury particularly appreciated the project’s broad impact and its strong emphasis on physical accessibility, which they described as a key issue that universities must prioritise. They also highlighted the involvement of participants without disabilities, contributing to wider awareness and education within the university community.

The ENLIGHT Inclusion Award is a prestigious distinction granted within the ENLIGHT Alliance, which brings together ten European universities. The competition annually recognises student initiatives that promote diversity, equality and inclusion.

Congratulations to Lívia Rosina, and we wish her many more successes in the future.

On Tuesday, 7 May 2024, the Department of Political Science of the Comenius University hosted a discussion with a multidisciplinary study group of scholarship holders from the Hans-Böckler Foundation, including two scholarship holders from the University of Göttingen.

The panel moderated by Campbell MacGillivray, M.A. (PhD candidate, University of Göttingen), included Professor Emília Sičáková-Beblavá (Institute of Public Policy, Comenius University) and Dr. Max Steuer (Department of Political Science, Comenius University).

The discussion covered a wide range of issues, including modern history of Slovakia and its legacies of non-democratic practices, the founding of the Slovak Republic in 1993 after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the consequences of the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on the text and practices of the Slovak Constitution as well as public policy-making.

The panelists and participants engaged with, among others, the role of scrutinizing and improving specific public policy areas as well as the utilization of both grand and local narratives of constitutionalism and democracy, the positioning of Slovakia in the Visegrád region, Central Europe including Germany and the European Union more broadly, or the avenues to protect democracy in Slovakia by institutions (including the Slovak Constitutional Court, media, think tanks and NGOs) and the public at large in light of contemporary developments.

The discussion emphasized the democratic foundations of Slovakia and its achievements in the last 30 years, but also enduring unaddressed public policy issues that combine with contemporary illiberal narratives and represent a risk for its democratic future.

In November, a colleagues from the Department of Russian Studies and East European Studies, doc. Irina Dulebová and doc. Nina Cingerová participated in the inspiring conference Humor and Conflict in the Digital Age, which took place at Ghent University, as part of the Hacida networking project (ENLIGHT Rise program).

On 23 November 2023, ten partner universities of the ENLIGHT alliance endorsed a set of joint Open Science principles in Uppsala, Sweden. Comenius University is a member of the alliance. The aim of the initiative is to create a common basis for a culture of open science across the participating European universities. Open science is intended to facilitate faster dissemination, sharing, and application of science.

We wish you pleasant listening!

Between 2 and 6 October 2023, Vice-Rector for International Relations Jozef Tancer and representatives of a number of Comenius University faculties visited three European universities that are also members of the ENLIGHT alliance. During their visits CU representatives sought ways of broadening the cooperation among universities.

CU representatives met their colleagues from the Ghent University in Belgium, the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and the University of Göttingen in Germany. They spoke to members of management, deans and ENLIGHT coordinators to find ways of developing cooperation in the areas of research and teaching. Our faculties and our organisation of study were presented to our partners and talks focussed on possible joint master and doctoral programmes, exchange study stays and research projects, as well as research cooperation.

"In Göttingen we visited the teaching and simulation hospital of the University Medical Centre Göttingen, with whom we would like to collaborate on new methods of medical training as part of the ENLIGHT consortium. We outlined areas of research where it might be possible to form joint doctoral study programmes," Vice-dean of CU’s Faculty of Medicine Daniela Ostatníková clarifies which activities her faculty plans to develop in the next period of inter-university cooperation.

Vice-rector of the university Jozef Tancer was accompanied during the official visits by Vice-dean Daniela Ostatníková, the Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy Ján Klimas, Vice-dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences Mariana Kováčová, Vice-dean of the Faculty of Management Lucia Vilčeková and Vice-dean of the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics Róbert Jajcay. At partner universities the delegation of Comenius University was shown specialised research centres, campuses of faculties and one of the most renowned and venerable university campuses in the Netherlands, the Zernike campus in Groningen.

"As a member of ENLIGHT, we are developing the first grant call for teaching and research cooperation projects, to be announced in the spring of 2024. I believe that visits of partner universities like this one will contribute towards building contacts and forming work teams that will use the upcoming grant scheme," said Vice-rector Tancer.

On June 28, 2023, the Comenius University announced the winner of the ENLIGHT Teaching & Learning Award for CU.

After a professional assessment of the applications, the winner was the Intrapreneurship  course led by Anna Pilková, Jaroslav Huľvej and Juraj Mikuš from the Department of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at the Faculty of Management of the Comenius University. The Master's course called Intrapreneurship is aimed at developing the knowledge and skills that graduates inevitably need in the labor market, develops analytical and creative thinking and above all responds to the need to connect the university environment with practice, in this case with companies as external stakeholders.

The jury was particularly interested in the use of teaching methods and approaches that actively involve students in teaching, the use of elements of the so-called challenge-based education (teaching that responds to specific challenges and problems that students solve during the semester), strong support for cooperation in teaching and the involvement of partners from the business sphere, which enabled students to bring solutions to real-life situations and connect theory with direct practice.

The winning team will travel to Bordeaux, France in autumn 2023, where they will represent Comenius University among other winning courses from ENLIGHT universities. During the ENLIGHT Teaching and Learning Conference & Award, the international jury will announce the absolute winner of the ENLIGHT Teaching & Learning Award from representatives from all ENLIGHT universities.

Thanks to the ENLIGHT university alliance, two students from CU had the opportunity to represent their university and other students from the entire European Union at the international student conference European Student Assembly 2023 (ESA23) in Strasbourg, which took place from 31.5. until 2.6. 2023.

ESA23 is organized by the European Universities Community (EUC), which unites university alliances throughout the EU. Among the thousands of applicants, student representatives from the alliances selected 230 students, who were subsequently divided into ten thematic panels. For several months, they met online and worked on proposals that were voted on in plenary, right in the European Parliament building in Strasbourg.

Comenius University was represented by two students. Matej Bižaca from the Faculty of Law participated in Panel 1: Democracy and Robert Lenzen from the Faculty of Arts participated in Panel 7: Defence. The topics and questions of their panels were:

Panel 1: DEMOCRACY, direct (deliberative) versus representative democracy, how to reduce the gap between citizens and legislators and thus create a more united Europe?

Panel 7: DEFENSE, is the EU in a position to create an effective foreign policy and an autonomous defence policy that would ensure the security of its citizens?

Each panel developed eight to ten proposals to improve the functioning of the EU. Each proposal was discussed individually in the European Parliament's chamber. In total, 75 out of 79 proposals were voted on. All suggestions are contained in this DOCUMENT. 

This conference showed us that students all over Europe have a serious interest in public affairs and a desire to influence it. All voted proposals will soon be delivered to the relevant institutions and policy makers who should deal with them. ESA23 helps to spread awareness about the EU even among the youngest voters, so that they do not forget that they are citizens not only of their home country, but also of the European Union.

The CU hosted the first physical meeting of ENLIGHT mobility coordinators at the beginning of May. We welcomed colleagues from the Basque Country, Bordeaux, Galway, Ghent, Groningen, Tartu and Uppsala. Partners from Bern joined online.

The aim of the first offline meeting was to improve the administration of so-called BIPs (Blended Intensive Programme - part of the course is online, part of the course is physical). During an intensive two-day meeting, the coordinators worked on improving of the process of sending students abroad. A practical insight into the process was provided by Erasmus+ faculty officers from the CU.

It is widely known that breakfast is the foundation of the day.The members of the newly formed students union Prif UK Sustainability were eager to step forward in the direction of sustainability - their first event was called Naturalists' Breakfast.

Naturalists' Breakfast

The Naturalists' Breakfast was held on April 25th 2023 in the Botanical Garden of the Comenius University Bratislava. In this green oasis of modern Bratislava, the participants could enjoy Hungarian smoked vegan sausages and 100% plant-based baguettes from sponsors. However, sponsors also emerged from among the students, some of them brought, for example, homemade desserts or jam.

Reading books in Botanical Garden 

During breakfast, everyone had the opportunity to read books from the authors of Faculty of Natural Sciences of the Comenius University. Interesting facts about the Botanical Garden of the Comenius University can be found in the book "Rekordy Malých Karpát“ (Records of the Small Carpathians). This book may inspire some to explore parts of the garden after breakfast. They could see with their own eyes, for example, a giant sequoia. Whether one went on an expedition across the garden or just sat down in the grass, the singing of birds, that have long been the subject of research of nesting biology, made the stay outside pleasant. Everyone who was interested in this topic could read the book "Let's build a birdhouse". Although the Botanical Garden can also be considered a symbol of sustainability at our alma mater, sustainability relates with every aspect of our lives. For example, there are seventeen defined Sustainable Development Goals. The goals are not only about environmental protection, but also, for example, about quality education. Therefore, the participants could also read the book "Ako študovat na vysokej škole (How to study at university?)". By reading this manual, students could get tips on how to integrate multiple aspects of their lives in order to reach and sustain balanced life (not only) during university years. And this is beneficial for the whole society. Balanced life allows students to be volunteers and participate in building a sustainable future. So everyone could find their own way in the Botanical Garden of the Comenius University on that spring day.

Successful first event

However, since our university teaches critical thinking, we have to ask ourselves: What is the tangible evidence of the success of breakfast? Let's take it mathematically: Prior the event, 40 students announced their participation, but up to 45 students came. Many of these students stayed after eleven o'clock, that is, even after breakfast was over. Instead of rushing, stimulating discussions were held not only about the beauty and hardships of student life, but also about sustainability, for example. For example, some debated, like true gourmets, about the delicacies they enjoyed on this beautiful spring day. This fulfilled the purpose of the first event of the newly formed association. Since the food was only a kind of bait, it means that the real goal of the event was nothing more than to start building relationships and a more sustainable future.

On 26th April 2023 the Vice-Rector for International Relations Jozef Tancer, together with the ENLIGHT UK team, welcomed at Comenius University visit from the ENLIGHT partner university in Uppsala.

CU was visited by the Deputy Rector, Mrs. Coco Norén; the Deputy Vice-Rector for Humanities, Mattias Martinsson; Jonathan Schalk, Project Manager for the ENLIGHT University Alliance and academics from various fields.

The aim of the physical meeting was to strengthen the partnership and create new collaborations between our universities that will advance not only the academics, but especially the students from both universities. This was ENLIGHT's alliance first bilateral visit and we strongly believe that we have inspired other partners to organize similar events.

Click HERE to read a interview with Mrs. Coco Norén, the Deputy Rector from Uppsala University (page 36-37). 

Mutualism is a type of symbiotic relationship where all species involved benefit from their interactions.” As we fluctuate on our university day by day, let’s question ourselves: Is there any way how we can bring more mutualism to our alma mater? Some of us already found the answer… and made a decision to bring to life a student community Prif UK Sustainability!

We would love to make our university more green, our schoolmates more satisfied and happier and we would like to support sustainable choices. There are many activities which we talked about: excursion, lectures and discussions with interesting people, breakfast for students and many more…

We have a lot of work in front of us so →If you have idea how to make our faculty more sustainable or if you want to join our society, feel free to contact us!

Through the ENLIGHT superuniversity, the largest Slovak university now has a new strategic partner for cooperation. The University of Bern is an excellent university and one of the best in Switzerland. In international rankings it regularly ranks around the 100th place. Approximately 19,500 students study at its eight faculties which offer state-of-the-art facilities.

Swiss universities are fighting to retain their connections to European networks. They do so under difficult conditions since Switzerland was excluded from Horizon Europe and Erasmus+. This year, however, Swiss universities were given the opportunity to join European University alliances as "associated partners".

ENLIGHT is an alliance of European universities and consists of 9 renowned research-intensive universities located in Ghent (Belgium), Tartu (Estonia), Bordeaux (France), Göttingen (Germany), Galway (Ireland), Groningen (the Netherlands), Uppsala (Sweden), Bratislava (Slovakia) and the Basque Country (Spain). On 1 December 2022, the University of Bern was elected as associated member by the ENLIGHT Governing Board.

ENLIGHT offers mobility and education among its member universities. They offer a wide range of exchange opportunities and support transdisciplinary education in order to prepare students for the challenges of a connected world. “Even though our researchers still urgently need Switzerland's association to Horizon Europe, to be part of the most important research network in the world, joining ENLIGHT is an important step for us to retain our connections in Europe and promote exchanges as well as cooperation," says Christian Leumann, Rector of the University of Bern.

The ENLIGHT universities cooperate closely in areas where the University of Bern can contribute actively, such as health, climate change, digitization or renewable energy.

The ENLIGHT network has launched a digital Course Catalogue, which allows ENLIGHT students to search for all the courses available for application in the ENLIGHT European University.

The catalogue covering all ENLIGHT universities makes it easier for students to find courses to study abroad and boost their studies according to their interests and field of study. All the information can be found in one place, and browsing is possible by key words, host university, instruction language, format, level, semester, or ECTS.

The catalogue is a major step towards creating a digital campus that interconnects all nine universities.

Find out how the ENLIGHT digital Course Catalogue works. Oskar, a student of mathematics from Tartu, introduces it in this video.

With the guide the 'SN' aims to raise awareness about the responsibility of universities to address the world's most pressing challenges (SDGs), and to share and gain inspiration for our path to go greener. To this end, the SN highlights three best practices at each ENLIGHT university to learn from each other and to provide an inspirational framework to learn, listen and help each other in achieving more.

Comenius University students took part in the international project ENLIVE as an educational project within the ENLIGHT initiative. This virtual exchange was simultaneously run by the Comenius University in Bratislava and the University of Göttingen in Germany. Students of both universities worked on media campaigns focused on the current most pressing issues of their generation. Students engaged in topics: climate change and activism, sustainability and circular economy, disability and society, diversity and healthy body image in social media, gender and education. 

You can find student´s campaigns on the Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/enlightstudentnetwork/.

Students were supervised by Ms Ashley Chandler from the Göttingen University; Aneta Barnes, MA and Lenka Jeleňová, MSc from the Comenius University.
