The event was opened by Prof. Dr. Ing. Oliver Moravčík, Dean of STU MTF. There were two plenary talks delivered by Hon. prof. Dr. h.c. Rolf Pfrengle ( IFW Dresden, Germany) and Prof. Dr Ing. Slawomir Nikiel (UZG, Poland).
The conference programme comprised the students’ presentations in the English language in individual professional sections chaired by associate professors and professors, mainly:
Prof. Dr. Dr.h.c. Peter Joehnk (HZDR Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany), Prof. Dr. sc. Neven Vrček, Prof. Dr.hab.inž Krzysztof Witkowski (University Zielona Gora, Poland, Prof. Dr.hab.inž.Sebastian Saniuk (UZG), Prof. Ing. Jozef Janovec, DrSc., Prof. Dr.-Ing. Volkmar Richter, Assoc.Prof. Maroš Martinkovič, CSc. and Prof. Ing. Maroš Soldán, PhD.
The PhD students participating in IDS 2014 have gained valuable experience in elaborating scientific presentations and particularly in presenting their scientific theses in the English language. At the same time, they could set up professional and personal contacts and compare the results of their research with the colleagues of other universities.
Upon the proposals of individual section chair, the Closing Ceremony was associated with awarding the best student contributions in individual sections.
The professional part of the Seminar was complemented by social events (dinner and a trip to the scansen Ochla and Botanical Garden), which were warmly welcome by domestic and also foreign participants.
Dean of MTF STU, Dr. h. c. prof. Dr. Ing. Oliver Moravcik will kindly invite you to the International Doctoral Seminar 2015 to be held in the Smolenice Castle near Trnava, Slovakia.
