FMK UCM Leads the Way in Research Quality Assessments in Slovakia

VER 2026 evaluated creative activity for the period 2020–2024 and assessed three key areas: the quality of scientific outputs, the societal impact of research, and the quality of the creative environment. The results represent an important tool for independent international evaluation and also serve as one of the key bases for funding universities in Slovakia.
