The University of Economics in Bratislava received a distinguished guest on Monday, March 18, 2024. During his short two-day visit to Slovakia, the Secretary General of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Mathias Cormann, found the time to present the analysis "OECD Economic Survey of the Slovak Republic for 2024 - Strengthening Resilience and Growth" to the University's students and employees as well as to invited guests.
The presentation of main recommendations was supplemented by a panel discussion involving representatives from three government departments: Tomáš Drucker, Minister of Education, Research, Development and Youth of the Slovak Republic, Kamil Šaško, State Secretary of the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic and Rastislav Chovanec, State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic.
The University's management pointed out the Secretary-General's interest to meet students and to strengthen ties with the University of Economics in Bratislava, thus making sure they do not remain only on paper in the form of a memorandum. Furthermore, the University's management stressed continual development of the University, particularly in regard to compliance with international quality standards AACSB.
The event attracted considerable attention from students, who emphasized the University's interest to provide, through a partnership such as this, high-quality data and analyses to its students and employees to further their education and research.
