On Wednesday, July 13, 2022, Slovak President Zuzana Chaputova appointed twenty-seven new academic titles for university professors. In her inaugural address, the president emphasized that in times of revolutionary discoveries, technological progress, and inspiring ideas and stimulating creative actions, humanity still faces increasingly acute civilizational threats, and only an appropriate level of education and professional qualifications offers the chance to pass such tests.
We sincerely congratulate our colleague and great friend of Ukraine, Juraj Gazda, on awarding him the academic title of professor! We wish him further success and victories in the field of education and science, new ambitious plans and achievements, interesting ideas, useful meetings, dizzying travels, large-scale projects and good health!
Juraj has always supported and still supports Ukraine in its struggle for independence. Since 2015, he has continuously provided housing and concern for Ukrainian military personnel who are being rehabilitated in Slovakia. And now he has housed several families from Ukraine, from different cities of Ukraine, who suffered from russian aggression in his home and with his relatives.
