Education and inclusion at the heart of the programme The mobility programme focused on inclusion, sustainability and digital skills. Following Monday’s welcome session, the senior participants attended a workshop on mobile photography led by Katarína Révayová, followed by a guided tour of Bratislava’s historic city centre in Spanish. Tuesday focused on inclusion, with participants discussing ways of overcoming invisible barriers in education together with Elena Mendelová from the CU Support Centre for Students with Specific Needs. They also learned more about the University of the Third Age at CU and adult education programmes offered through the CCE. Wednesday connected ecology with technology. Participants first shared their experiences via a digital presentation titled Bratislava Through Our Eyes, in which they expressed their enthusiasm for both the university environment and the city itself. They then attended a lecture by Associate Professor Peter Hanajík on sustainability at CU and visited a travelling exhibition presenting student and faculty initiatives contributing to the university’s sustainable development goals. The programme continued with a visit to the Waterworks Museum. The final part of the week included a visit to the House of the European Union and a discussion on lifelong learning. The programme also featured thematic walks to Bratislava Castle and Devín Castle focusing on European values and participation at every age, and concluded with an environmentally themed walk along the banks of the Danube near Devín Castle. Personal stories and motivation for lifelong learning For many of the learners, the University of the Third Age represents a way of staying actively connected with society. Silvestre from Castellón highlighted the importance of social interaction and continuous learning as tools for coping with the transition from working life to retirement. Isabel from Málaga fulfilled a long-held dream of visiting Central Europe during her trip to Bratislava and is currently studying the psychology of emotions back home. Participants Antonia and Victoria from Alicante particularly appreciated the excellent organisation and the atmosphere of the city, which they said exceeded all expectations. Organising such a large-scale event required careful preparation. Nadežda Hrapková, project manager at CCE CU and coordinator of the mobility project, sees similar activities as essential for building a modern Europe. “International mobility in later life demonstrates that education has no age limits. Our guests from Spain brought to Bratislava not only their southern temperament, but also a tremendous enthusiasm for learning and sharing experiences. For our Centre of Continuing Education, it is essential to create a space where European identity is built through genuine encounters and dialogue between generations,” said Hrapková. The Spanish delegation left Bratislava impressed by the hospitality of CCE CU and the carefully prepared programme, which made everyone feel at home. The event confirmed that Erasmus+ programmes are a genuine tool for bringing people together regardless of gender or age. The successful international cooperation will continue beyond this visit. One of the CCE’s upcoming plans is to organise a similar mobility programme for senior learners in cooperation with a partner institution in Poland. Between 8 and 12 June, 2026, eight Slovak participants will travel to Wrocław as part of an Erasmus+ mobility programme. From June 2026 onwards, the centre is also expecting approval of a new KA121 mobility programme under its Erasmus+ Accreditation, running until the end of 2027.]]> [RUK] Titulka - úzke novinky pr@uniba.sk Mon, 18 May 2026 11:14:00 +0200 EVENT: What is the reality of building a startup like? https://uniba.sk/ We invite you to an event with Tim Szalay from ABYA Genomics, who will openly share what building a... 399 No’s, 1 Yes: The Reality of Building a Startup, which offers an honest, behind-the-scenes look at the journey from an idea to a real company.

MUDr. Veronika Rybárová, PhD., from the Institute of Forensic Medicine and Medical Expertises. The exercise simulated a major emergency scenario — an aircraft crash within an urban environment involving multiple casualties — and included both theoretical and practical training focused on the organization, documentation, and identification of victims according to international DVI standards. In addition to participating in the professional activities, Dr. Rybárová also volunteered as a simulated victim during practical search operations conducted by mountain rescue canine teams. Approximately 70 experts attended the event, including teams from Germany, Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Team compositions changed throughout the exercise, and participants faced highly demanding tasks under simulated air disaster conditions — from searching aircraft wreckage and debris in the field, locating and transporting bodies, and conducting initial examinations and on-site identification procedures, to detailed victim identification under mortuary conditions. The exercise also included the collection of information about missing persons from fictional relatives, followed by the reconciliation process, during which ante-mortem and post-mortem data were compared. The results were subsequently presented before a special tribunal, which determined whether the identity of victims was confirmed, probable, excluded, or could not be established due to insufficient evidence.]]> [JLF] Titulka - úzke novinky milos.hrabovsky@uniba.sk Tue, 12 May 2026 08:53:00 +0200 Seminar of Graph Theory - Ján Karabáš (14.5.2026) https://uniba.sk/ Thursday 14.5.2026 at 9:50, Lecture room M 213 Ján Karabáš (FEI STU Bratislava):
Colouring defect of strong snarks Abstract:
A strong snark is a 2-connected cubic graph which is not 3-edge-colourable and remains so after deleting any edge and by suppressing the resulting 2-valent vertices. Strong snarks were introduced by Jaeger in 1985 as a class of cubic graphs that might include counterexamples to the cycle double conjecture, the 5-flow conjecture, or to other related longstanding conjectures. With these conjectures still widely open, strong snarks merit further investigation. In this paper we study colouring defect of strong snarks, an invariant introduced by Steffen in 2015 as the minimum number of edges of a cubic graph left uncovered by any set of three perfect matchings. This invariant provides one of measures of edge uncolourability of cubic graphs recently studied by several authors. Our main result shows that the colouring defect of a strong snark is at least 6, and the bound is best possible. (Joint work with E. Macajova, R. Nedela, and M.

Long-term operation and degradation mechanism in structural materials of VVER reactors Abstract:
The lecture addresses the current state of nuclear energy and explains the need to extend the operational lifetime of nuclear power plants both in Slovakia and worldwide. In the context of long-term operation (LTO), structural materials are exposed to increased degradation loads, which requires more intensive monitoring and assessment. A key principle of nuclear power plant ageing management is a detailed understanding of the degradation mechanisms affecting structural materials and their systematic control through optimized operation and maintenance. Changes in mechanical properties and microstructure are primarily caused by radiation and thermal ageing, which lead to the gradual embrittlement of materials. Maintaining the integrity of structural materials, particularly in the primary circuit, is a crucial aspect of nuclear safety. These materials form a physical barrier that prevents the release of radioactive substances into the environment. ]]> [FMFI] Prednášky a semináre [FMFI] Kalendár Jaroslav.Stanicek@fmphunib Thu, 07 May 2026 09:53:00 +0200 Scenario-Based Testing of Autonomous Vehicles: The Foundation of Safety and Reliability https://uniba.sk/ Marek Mičák [1] This approach is also supported by regulatory authorities, as modern regulations increasingly require the validation of autonomous system safety through predefined scenarios.[2] UN[3] and EU[4] regulations rely on scenario-based testing to assess the safety of automated driving systems and include scenario specifications and acceptance conditions. Although these predefined scenarios cover important safety aspects, the development of safe autonomous vehicles requires additional testing, placing several demands on test scenarios and their generation process.[5] Scenario-based testing makes it possible to reproduce real-world traffic situations, including critical and rare events that would be dangerous to test in real conditions. Such scenarios include, for example, collision situations, sudden changes in the behaviour of road users, or complex interactions at intersections. The advantage is that these scenarios can be repeatedly tested in a controlled environment, increasing the accuracy of analysis and enabling the identification of errors already in the early stages of development. Modern testing of autonomous vehicles is no longer based solely on physical testing but on a comprehensive ecosystem that combines simulations, proving ground testing, and real-world road testing. This hybrid approach allows efficient coverage of a wide range of scenarios while optimizing development time and costs. Virtual simulations are particularly important for testing extreme or difficult-to-reproduce situations, which can then serve as a basis for physical validation.[6] From a scientific perspective, several approaches exist for generating test scenarios. The main ones include data-driven scenarios, scenarios generated by artificial intelligence, and knowledge-based scenarios derived from traffic rules or formal specifications. Each of these approaches has its advantages and limitations—data-driven scenarios are realistic but limited by available data, while AI-generated scenarios offer greater variability but less control. To overcome these limitations, integrated solutions have been developed that combine various scenario generation techniques into a single system. Such an approach makes it possible to create realistic, controllable, and critical scenarios, significantly increasing testing efficiency. An important feature of modern tools is their modular architecture, which allows flexible adaptation of testing processes to the specific needs of autonomous system development. Simulations play a crucial role, particularly in terms of efficiency. They enable the generation of large numbers of scenarios in a short time and allow testing of vehicle behaviour under various traffic conditions. This approach significantly accelerates development and enables extensive testing without the need for costly physical experiments.[7] At the same time, it is essential to combine virtual testing with physical validation. While simulations can identify potential issues, real-world testing is necessary to confirm results under actual conditions. This hybrid approach ensures that testing is not only efficient but also reliable and relevant for real-world deployment.[8] Scenario-based testing therefore represents a fundamental pillar in the development of autonomous vehicles. It enables systematic evaluation of system behaviour across different situations, identification of weaknesses, and compliance with regulatory requirements. As the complexity of autonomous technologies continues to grow, its importance will further increase and will be a key factor in building public trust in autonomous mobility.[9] SOURCES: [1] TÜV SÜD – Scenario-based testing for automotives.
