Education Minister Martina Lubyová and rectors of both universities, Miroslav Fikar (STU) and Marek Števček (UK), signed a contract on October 15 that will equally distribute €111 million to both universities over a period of four years, until 2023.

“The Accord project can potentially influence Slovakia’s socio-economic development through modernisation and higher education development in the STEM study programmes at the most important universities in Slovakia,” the minister said.
