Under the auspices of Maroš Šefčovič, the vice-chairman of the European Commission, the 18th year of the biggest international fair for study and careers in Slovakia—the AKADÉMIA&VAPAC®—was organized in Bratislava. The fair provides a space for presentation by Slovak and foreign universities, technical schools, faculties and institutions. Attendees learned about the conditions of enrollment processes and other education, language study, about stipends and grants. The fair is focused especially on students in their final school years – future degree holders – with the aim of helping them to select their next educational opportunities. The ceremonial opening of the fair was visited by the Minister of Education, Research and Sport of SR Peter Pellegrini. The Faculty of Materials Science and Technology was represented at the fair at the stand of the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. Possibilities for study at MTF STU were presented by selected faculty students.
