Comenius University scientists are among the foremost personalities in Slovak science
Two of the most prominent scientific personalities in Slovakia work at Comenius University in Bratislava.
Professor Pavel Povinec from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics, and Informatics, and Associate Professor Peter Celec from the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Natural Sciences are two of the most well-known scientists in Slovakia according to a survey on the perceptions of science and scientists in the country. The survey was organized in February 2019 by the 2muse agency.
According to the survey, two thirds of people are interested in science. However, 64% of the respondents could not name any Slovak scientific success and 80% could not even name a Slovak scientist.
