The academic community is not only characterized by research, teaching and professional activities. University life is a colorful mosaic of activities and achievements, which inevitably include sports. At Bratislava University of Economics and Business, sports have a strong place - they are a symbol of perseverance, team spirit and fairness, which are values on which the university community itself stands.
Every successful university is built not only on visions, but also on the daily work, decisions, courage and responsibility of those who lead it not only at the faculty but also at the university-wide level. Faculty deans are the ones who translate academic strategy into practice, form professional teams, create conditions for students and teachers, and often bear responsibility for the direction of education, research and social engagement.
On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, during a ceremonial meeting of the academic community on the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the university's founding, the Bratislava University of Economics and Business awarded awards to personalities and institutions that significantly contribute to the development of the university and the strengthening of the academic community.
