University professor, internationally recognized representative of economic theories and the first governor of the Slovak National Bank, Imrich Karvaš, impressed the EUBA with his professionalism and valuable equipment like no other personality in its history.

Out of deep respect and gratitude for the work of this personality for university education and society, the Bratislava University of Economics and Business has been awarding the Imrich Karvaš Medal since 2000.
