Student Scientific Activity

An important element in the research activities undertaken at the Faculty of Technology is student engagement in various forms of study and undertaking course work. The scientific student conferences organised annually showcase the best work. It is encouraging that in recent years Slovak students have shown an increasing interest in this and that students come from abroad to attend. The conferences are becoming international, increasing the competition and thereby the quality of the work presented. Student scientific and academic activities (ŠVOČ) are a means whereby students can engage in the University’s research work. It is an opportunity for students to enjoy and develop their special interests, talents and creative thinking. By partaking in ŠVOČ students tackle contemporary issues that are closely linked to the University’s research focus. The knowledge and experience obtained can be further used in bachelor and master’s theses, and for some it is also a good springboard for the scientific work conducted later at the PhD level. ŠVOČ is an opportunity for students to test their abilities to independently analyse and tackle tasks, present their findings and defend their work in front of experts. All these research-related activities help promote TUZVO at home and abroad, helping improve its position in Slovakia and in Europe.

Our students regularly participate in ŠVOČ conferences at the Alexander Dubček University in Trenčín and the Slovak Agricultural University in Nitra, where they feature among the best.
