Open Day – We Look Forward to Welcoming Applicants Again

Tue, 05 May 2026 09:03:00 +0200

Students do not need to travel far to receive high-quality medical education. We would like to show you exactly what makes Faculty of Medicine Comenius University Bratislava unique at our Open Day. For this upcoming event, we have prepared an engaging, experience-based program, where teaching demonstrations will be delivered directly by our academic staff from the theoretical institutes. You will discover how a healthy person breathes compared to someone affected by disease, and learn about the differences between a healthy and a diseased heart muscle — an organ essential for life. You will have the opportunity to gain basic skills in examining histological specimens under microscope and explore ocular structures. You will also experience a simulation of an emergency situation, where every second counts. In addition, we will introduce you to the world of ultrasound and show you how physicians are able to “see” inside the human body. During the event, we will also provide important information about application deadlines and entrance exams for the upcoming academic year. You will receive useful tips on how to prepare for entrance exams, have the chance to ask any questions about studies at our faculty, and learn more about opportunities for international mobility and internships. Guided tour will start at 9:30. Due to limited capacity, please register using the following link:

Lecture on biomedical physics - Matej Daniel (5.5.2026)

Iveta.Waczulikova@fmph.uniba.sk — Mon, 04 May 2026 11:08:00 +0200

prof. RNDr. Matej Daniel, PhD. (Department of Mechanics, Biomechanics and Mechatronics, FME CTU in Prague) Názov prednášky: HOMEOCRISIS – Generalized phase transitions as a unifying principle of biological dynamics MS Teams Abstract:
A growing body of evidence, from molecular assemblies to whole organism dynamics, indicates that living systems do not occupy arbitrary non equilibrium states. Instead, they actively position themselves near critical points and phase transition boundaries. Although the role of such transitions in structural self organization is widely acknowledged, their deeper significance for generating generalized motion – the transport of matter, energy, and information that underlies biological function – remains unresolved. This lecture will introduce the theory of homeocrisis, which proposes that biological systems deliberately generate local entropy production to trigger controlled phase transitions as a universal mechanism for motion and rapid adaptive response.

Damas.Gruska@fmph.uniba.sk — Tue, 05 May 2026 13:56:00 +0200

[Translate to English:] Prednášajúci: Matej Mok Názov: Hybrid 3D Computer Vision with Limited Data Termín: 4.5.2026, 13:10 hod., I/9
Abstrakt:
3D computer vision aims to reconstruct scene geometry from images and use it to extract useful information like detecting objects, localization, and camera pose estimation. In practice, many of these methods require large amounts of annotated data, which are often difficult or expensive to obtain. This work investigates hybrid approaches that combine geometric methods with machine learning in data-constrained settings. We focus on the development of line-based feature detection and evaluate the usefulness of such features in downstream tasks, including object pose detection and estimation of relative pose of cameras. In parallel, we explore the generation of synthetic training data using computer graphics and assessing its usefulness for training vision models. Part of this research is the development of digital twins of 3D capturing devices, enabling the creation of realistic synthetic datasets and supporting novel learning paradigms in virtual environments.

ĽUDOVÍT ŠTÚR DORMITORY IS BEING TRANSFORMED, WITH THE FIRST ROOMS READY IN SEPTEMBER

pr@uniba.sk — Tue, 05 May 2026 09:28:00 +0200

The renovation of the Ľudovít Štúr Dormitory is one of the university’s key investment priorities. It is currently being carried out as two separate projects in both high-rise blocks: High-Rise Block A (VBA) and High-Rise Block B (VBB). CU Rector Marek Števček stressed that although he would prefer the work to move faster, the realities of procurement, administration and financing inevitably slow the process down. The social dimension of higher education remains a priority. Given the critical shortage of affordable rental housing in Bratislava, renovated dorms are an essential way of making university study possible for students from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. “We are aware of our responsibility towards our students. Our vision is to provide decent social housing at affordable prices, which is still more of an exception than the rule compared with many universities in Europe. We want students to complete their studies with knowledge, not a burden of debt from commercial rents,” said CU Rector Marek Števček. The project is being funded from a combination of sources: Slovakia’s Recovery and Resilience Plan and the university’s own resources. Almost EUR 7 million has been allocated to the renovation of VBA, which has a capacity of around 1,000 beds. The investment in VBB, which has a capacity of around 1,300 beds, is approximately EUR 12.5 million. Work is currently under way in several stages across an area of more than 30,000 square metres. In VBA, the second stage of the renovation is now being finalised and the third stage is being prepared. In VBB, the first and second stages are being finalised at the same time, while the third stage is also in preparation. In both blocks, the first two stages included the replacement of vertical and horizontal utility distribution systems, repairs to sanitary facilities, insulation of the roof and façade, replacement of windows and balcony doors, and new electrical wiring. In the third stage, the university will produce new furniture, replace the floors and repaint the rooms. Construction work on the blocks has been scheduled so that the university can meet the deadlines set under Slovakia’s Recovery and Resilience Plan. CU Vice-Rector for Property and Investments Jana Duračinská explained that the final third phase will begin once the final permit for use of the construction work carried out is obtained at the beginning of the summer. The university will carry out this third phase using its own resources. “In order to be as cost-effective as possible, we have built our own carpentry workshop. We are producing the furniture for rooms in VBA ourselves, and we are also using our own capacities as much as possible for painting and finishing work,” said Vice-Rector Jana Duračinská. Students will see the first results soon. In September 2026, the first three renovated floors in VBA, representing around 200 beds, will be handed over for use. Further floors throughout VBA will be completed gradually during the academic year, followed by VBB. CU management is already planning further renovation projects. Once work on the Ľudovít Štúr Dormitory has been completed, the university intends to focus on the renovation of Družba Dorms, where it also plans to use funding from the State Housing Development Fund. CU provides regular updates on every stage of the dorm renovation work through the Renovation diaries on its website. Photo: Michal Valentin

Seminar of Graph Theory - Roman Soták (30.4.2026)

Martin.Skoviera@fmph.uniba.sk — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 12:45:00 +0200

Roman Soták (UPJŠ Košice):
List strong edge-colouring of graphs with small maximum degree Abstract:
Astrong edge-coloring of a graph is an edge-coloring in which every color class is an induced matching. The least number of colors needed for a strong edge-coloring of a graph is the strong chromatic index. We consider the list version of the coloring and prove that the list strong chromatic index of graphs with maximum degree 3 is at most 10. This bound is tight and improves the previous bound of 11 colors ([1]). Next, we consider graphs with maximum degree 4, where the best known bound for the list strong edge-coloring is 22 ([2]). We improve this result and establish an upper bound of 21 for the strong list chromatic index of subquartic graphs. Since there exist subquartic graphs whose strong chromatic index is 20, our bound is only one above the best possible. (joint work with B. Lužar, E. Máčajová, D. Švecová) References
