TEMPUS 511390 – Environmental Governance for Environmental Curricula Transfer of scientist knowledge to practice at Comenius University in Bratislava Project: Support center for transfer of technologies at Comenius University in Bratislava Operating program: Research and progress Priority ax 4: Support of research and progress in Bratislava region Action 4.2: Transfer of scientist technologies and knowledge to practice in Bratislava region

  12. TEMPUS 511390 – Environmental Governance for Environmental Curricula IV. Popularization of science and technologies • every year it is organized in Slovakia „A week of research and technologies“ • Its aim is : • improving of research and technologies perception • popularizating research and technologies and their presentation • arouse interest of young people in study of research and technology specialization • informing public about science and technologies knowledge • informing public about necessity to encourage science and technology

  13. TEMPUS 511390 – Environmental Governance for Environmental Curricula V. Employers interest about alumni • Academic Ranking and Rating Agency (ARRA) is an independent Slovak civil association established in 2004 by former student leaders and personalities from the academic field with the objective of assessing the quality of Slovak higher education institutions. • ARRA together with webportal profesia.sk elaborated reports about employers interest about alumni. • As you can see from the table, the most applying alumni are from informatics faculties and from building industry and economics. • On the other hand, there are faculties as pedagogy, law and divinity. • There is a lot of students, who want to study at Law faculties, but there is not enough work opportunities for them. www.profesia.sk

  14. TEMPUS 511390 – Environmental Governance for Environmental Curricula VI. Ranking of Slovak Universities by ARRA • The mission of ARRA is to stimulate positive changes in Slovak higher education. • There was no other ranking like this one until 2005, when ARRA realized the first ranking of Slovak Universities. • In its beginnings, dr. Don Thornhill and dr. Lewis Purser, World Bank experts, assisted in creating the original methodology used thereafter with certain improvements for annual evaluation of universities. • After their departure, ARRA continued its international collaboration and, in 2009, was at the birth of a global organisation of ranking agencies, the IREG Observatory (International Ranking Expert Group Observatory on Academic Ranking and Excellence) as its founding member. • Co-founder of ARRA, Prof. Ferdinand Devínsky, was elected a member of the Executive Committee of the IREG Observatory.

  15. TEMPUS 511390 – Environmental Governance for Environmental Curricula VI. Ranking of Slovak Universities by ARRA • In the course of its existence, ARRA prepared and published six reports assessing Slovak higher education institutions (HEI). • ARRA is also engaged in other activities with common denominator - the quality of HEI in Slovakia. • Throughout past years, projects were implemented such as identification of Slovak scientists comparable to world’s renowned scholars, a study mapping the interest of employers in HEI graduates, a comparison of the scientific performance of Czech and Slovak HEI, etc. • Several seminars and conferences on ranking and trends of quality assessment were organized in Slovakia.

  16. TEMPUS 511390 – Environmental Governance for Environmental Curricula Last ranking of Slovak Universities by ARRA on 2010 Average values of higher education institutions’ quality indicators inthe period 2005 – 2010 and their changes between 2009 and 2010 (www.arra.sk, 2011)
