Presentation of a new joint study programme of FMPI and FNS At the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics (FMPI CU), the delegation was received by Dean Daniel Ševčovič and Vice-Rector for Science and PhD Studies Jozef Masarik. The programme began with presentations from the Department of Nuclear Physics and Biophysics (FMPI CU) and the Department of Nuclear Chemistry of the Faculty of Natural Sciences (FNS CU), both unique within Slovakia. University management then introduced a new joint bachelor’s study programme of FMPI and FNS, Nuclear Analytical and Diagnostic Methods. Designed with a strong professional orientation, the programme reflects labour market demand and the STEP platform. It will train highly qualified specialists in environmental safety and radiation protection, nuclear energy (including fuel management and safety monitoring), as well as healthcare and pharmacy, covering areas such as biomedical physics, radiopharmacy, nuclear medicine and diagnostics. The visit continued at the Department of Nuclear Chemistry of the FNS CU, this time with Rector Marek Števček in attendance, accompanied by Vice-Rector for Education and Social Affairs Eva Viglašová, Vice-Rector for External Relations Radomír Masaryk and departmental representatives. Discussions focused on technical infrastructure and the integration of theory with practical training. “I am pleased that Comenius University plays a key role in educating experts in this strategically important field, and proud that two leading specialists in nuclear science are part of the university’s leadership,” said the Rector Marek Števček. Vice-Rector Eva Viglašová noted, “Comenius University Bratislava is the only university in Slovakia offering study programmes in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry. It is therefore essential to build on the long-standing work of these departments, strengthen their cooperation and connect academia more effectively with external partners and stakeholders.” The future of teacher education and mobile phone regulation in schools On Monday (13 April 2026) afternoon, the mathematics pavilion at FMFI CU hosted a meeting of the Association for Teacher Preparation and Education. The discussion focused on key developments in Slovak education. The main topics included:

• transformation of practical training in teacher education
• role of faculty schools and facilities
• research within a national development project examining the effectiveness of mobile phone regulation in primary schools.

Taken together, the two meetings underscored the central role of Comenius University in preparing experts: whether in nuclear safety or in the modern training of future teachers.]]> [RUK] Titulka - úzke novinky [FMFI] Titulka - úzke novinky pr@uniba.sk Wed, 15 Apr 2026 15:17:00 +0200 http://https://fphil.uniba.sk/en/ [FiF] EN Titulka - slider Tue, 14 Apr 2026 08:10:00 +0200 http://https://fphil.uniba.sk/en/ [FiF] EN Titulka - slider Tue, 14 Apr 2026 08:07:00 +0200 https://uniba.sk/ Thursday 16.4.2026 at 14:00, Lecture room M 223 Christopher Morison:
Stochastic modelling of reaction kinetics of ryanodine receptors Abstract: 
Calcium-mediated calcium release, via ion channels called ryanodine receptors (RyRs), is critical for cardiac cell excitation. RyRs have several conformational states, including open, closed and inactivated; transitions between these depend on nearby ion concentrations. Recently, Zahradníková and other colleagues at SAV presented a structurally-informed thermodynamic model for this system (Zahradníková et al., 2025, PLOS Comp Bio). In collaboration with them, we are developing a continuous-time Markov chain model to study the kinetic behaviour of RyRs. This presentation will introduce ongoing work with Anna Hlubinová and Pavol Bokes. ]]> [FMFI] Prednášky a semináre [FMFI] Kalendár Pavol.Quittner@fmph.uniba.sk Mon, 13 Apr 2026 19:30:00 +0200 https://uniba.sk/ We cordially invite students of the Faculty of Medicine CU Bratislava to the Medical 3....

The Faculty was represented by Jozef Andraško, MAtúš Mesarčík, Jana Zigo and Lukáš Macko. The programme of the visit included participation in academic events, meetings with faculty members and the leadership of the Law School, class visits, and joint research activities. Marquette University Law School is among the respected law schools in the United States. According to the U.S. News Best Graduate Schools 2025–26 ranking, it is placed among the top 60 law schools in the country, ranking 59th. As part of the professional programme, the project members attended a Faculty Workshop, the IP Colloquium Series, and class visits focused on Privacy, Constitutional Law, and Conflict of Laws. The stay also included working meetings with faculty members and provided space for expert discussions on current issues in law and technology, privacy protection, digital regulation, and modern methods of legal research. A particularly important part of the programme was the meeting with Joseph D. Kearney, Dean of Marquette University Law School, during which the participants discussed possibilities for further cooperation between the two faculties, especially in the areas of student exchanges, staff mobility, and joint academic events. The study stay also created an opportunity to present research activities and to exchange experience and best practices in the use of advanced technological and methodological approaches in legal research, including legal text analysis, digital regulation, and the interdisciplinary connection between law and technology. During the stay, the delegation was accompanied by Professor Karen Sandrik, to whom special thanks are due for her warm welcome, academic support, and for creating excellent conditions for professional meetings and scholarly exchange. The visit to Marquette University Law School represents another step in developing the international academic cooperation of our Faculty and confirms the importance of connecting legal research with current technological and societal challenges.]]> [PraF] UPITPDV [PraF] Titulka - úzke novinky - z uniba.sk [PraF] EN Titulka - úzke novinky Fri, 10 Apr 2026 23:36:00 +0200 https://uniba.sk/ Since November 2023, Comenius University Bratislava has been participating, alongside nine other... ENLIGHT confirms its strategic importance for the future of European higher education while providing a concrete framework for deeper cooperation between universities,” said CU Rector Marek Števček. The alliance has established robust governance and project structures with active involvement from both staff and students, while also advancing work on a shared legal framework through the AISBL. The development of the inter-university campus, support for mobility through the Stepping Stones initiative, and the creation of new knowledge within thematic networks and the T&L Hub have also been highlighted as key achievements. The project offers students flexible pathways for international study, supported by seamless credit recognition across its network of ten partner universities. Opportunities range from traditional semester exchanges to virtual mobility, blended learning formats, short-term stays and lifelong learning. Increasing student participation, the continuity of the student network, and the systematic transfer of knowledge and engagement between successive generations of student leaders stand out among the alliance’s strengths. Although challenges remain—particularly in legislation, IT infrastructure and the development of joint study programmes—the project has demonstrated its capacity to adapt and move forward effectively. ENLIGHT is also making a significant contribution to shaping the European Higher Education Area, especially in mobility, cooperation and recognition, and has the potential to serve as a model of good practice. The report recommends building on the results achieved, further strengthening partnerships, and continuing the systematic development of activities that underpin the alliance’s long-term success.]]> [RUK] Titulka - široké novinky [RUK] Tlačové správy pr@uniba.sk Tue, 14 Apr 2026 10:20:00 +0200 https://uniba.sk/ An interview with researcher Adamou Velhima about tuberculosis, genomics and life in Martin. He... He currently works at the Department of Pharmacology at the Jessenius Faculty of Medicine under the supervision of Matúš Dohál, PhD., on tuberculosis research and whole-genome sequencing of samples he brought directly from Africa. In Cameroon, tuberculosis represents a major public health issue, yet no one has conducted detailed molecular analyses there until now. In this interview, he talks about what led him to science, the challenges he has faced in Slovakia, and why he believes genomics is the science of the future. What led you to scientific work? As a young boy, I was fascinated by books about Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch. These were stories about discoveries that fundamentally changed medicine. I first became a doctor, but later decided to pursue a scientific career instead. Why did you choose microbiology, biotechnology, and especially the study of bacterial pathogens? During my university studies in biomedical sciences, I had to choose whether to continue with biochemistry or with bacteriology and virology. Because biochemistry involves a lot of mathematics—something I’m not particularly strong at—I chose the second option. At the same time, I also studied molecular biology. Although this field is highly developed globally, in Cameroon it is still far from the level it needs to be, and there is much that remains unexplored. That is why I decided to focus on tuberculosis combined with molecular biology. How did you learn about the Jessenius Faculty of Medicine in Martin, and why did you choose it for your research stay? Like many PhD students, I was trying to conduct part of my research outside Cameroon. One reason was the lack of proper laboratory equipment at home. Because I had long been studying tuberculosis, I knew that Dr. Matúš Dohál at the Jessenius Faculty of Medicine is deeply involved in this field. I contacted the Department of Pharmacology and was fortunate—our communication began back in 2023. After all administrative steps were completed, I received a scholarship through the SAIA agency and could travel to Martin. What are your first impressions of the faculty? I have a very good impression. This is my very first stay in Europe. Your laboratories seem enormous—incomparable to those in Cameroon. For me, your biomedical center is truly the largest in the world. Your PhD research focuses on molecular typing of Mycobacterium bovis and drug resistance in tuberculosis. Why is this topic important? I chose tuberculosis because it remains one of the most dangerous diseases. Even in 2025, it is still the deadliest infectious disease in the world. In Cameroon, we have far more cases and far more deaths than in Europe.
A major issue in my country is also bovine tuberculosis, which can be transmitted to humans—a zoonotic infection. All previous studies in Cameroon were mostly epidemiological, they gathered numbers of patients and infected cattle, but not information about transmission routes. I am interested in the molecular level, which is why I brought samples here to analyze precisely how the disease spreads between humans and animals. What exactly will you work on during your stay at the Department of Pharmacology? We will be working on whole-genome sequencing—one of the most advanced techniques used in tuberculosis research. It allows us to obtain complete DNA information from the bacterial samples I brought from Cameroon. I call it my “little biobank.” 
My colleagues are also teaching me additional methods used internationally so I can apply them back home one day, if we manage to equip our laboratories properly. How do you see the future of genomics and biotechnology in tackling infectious diseases? Genomics is, in my opinion, the future. Diseases like tuberculos cannot be eradicated without whole-genome sequencing and the data it provides. We need precise information about how transmission occurs, how resistant the bacteria are, and which treatment is most appropriate.
And the potential is broader—genomics will be important across many areas of biology and medicine. You have worked in hospitals and laboratories across Cameroon. What is the biggest difference compared to Slovakia? The biggest difference is in laboratory equipment. Diagnostic tools based on molecular biology, which are common here, simply do not exist in most laboratories in Cameroon. What can international cooperation bring to young researchers? For me, the biggest benefit is the collaboration I have built here. Together with Matúš Dohál, we plan further projects aimed at helping eradicate tuberculosis in Cameroon. I have learned many molecular techniques here—skills that very few people at home possess. I hope to pass this knowledge on to young scientists and students in Cameroon. How do you feel about tme city of Martin and Slovakia in general? People are very respectful, which I appreciate. The biggest challenge is communication—many people don’t speak English. I expected at least basic English to be more common, but in shops or pharmacies I am often not understood at all. I now live in Vrútky in a dormitory with Slovak students, and I feel very good there. Interestingly, when I spent two weeks in Žilina in a dorm full of foreigners, the atmosphere was not as pleasant. I much prefer living with Slovaks. What has surprised you the most so far? The weather, definitely. I came from 35-degree heat—and now it's even 45 back home—straight into winter. The first days were very difficult. The language barrier, as I mentioned, was also surprising—the further I got from Bratislava, the harder it was to communicate in English. I even once rode past my stop on the train because nobody could understand me. Finding accommodation was another challenge—several times, when I said I was from Cameroon and needed housing for just three months, people simply hung up. And honestly, I was shocked that I haven’t seen any Africans here. In Martin, I haven’t met a single one. I even tried to find a Cameroonian community—but apparently, there isn’t one. What do you miss most about Cameroon? Definitely the food. And my friends I usually play football with. Is there something you would like to experience in Slovakia? I really want to experience a true winter—snow and skiing. We’re planning a trip to the High Tatras, so I hope my wish comes true.]]> [JLF] Titulka - úzke novinky milos.hrabovsky@uniba.sk Fri, 10 Apr 2026 12:11:00 +0200 https://uniba.sk/ Monday 13.4.2026 at 13:10, Lecture room I 9 Branislav Zigo:
The Humanoid as a Research Platform: Perception, Action, and Intelligence Abstract:
We present the humanoid robot Unitree G1 with dexterous hands as a research platform for studying perception, action, and intelligence in embodied systems. The talk begins with a short live demonstration of the robot’s basic skills and highlights its current capabilities and limitations in locomotion, manipulation, perception and communication. The presentation then places these demonstrations into a broader research context. We show how humanoid manipulation is moving beyond scripted control towards learned sensorimotor policies, and briefly introduce Vision-Language-Action models, Large Behavior Models, and the role of tactile sensing and proprioception in stable grasping and regrasping. Particular attention is given to dexterous bimanual manipulation as one of the major open challenges in humanoid robotics. Finally, we discuss training strategies based on teleoperation, imitation learning, simulation, and Learning Using Privileged Information (LUPI), and summarize current state-of-the-art trends together with selected open problems. The aim is to link an intuitive robot demonstration with current research directions in embodied AI and humanoid dexterity.
