Also attending the meeting were Prof. Dusan Holoubek and Prof. Juraj Janocko, both which are Visiting Professors at RES. A new extended partnership agreement between the two institutions was signed at the occasion, but RES and TUKE have already had a close collaboration for few years. The new agreement further promotes cooperation on academic programs and joint research programs. The new agreement is for a period of five years, but will renew automatically for another five years unless terminated.
