On Saturday, 10 January 2026, in Bratislava, the President of the Slovak Republic, Peter Pellegrini, awarded state decorations to 22 distinguished individuals on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the establishment of the Slovak Republic.

Among the awardees was also our Dean, Prof. Živčák, who received the Order of Ľudovít Štúr, 1st Class, for his outstanding contributions to the development of the Slovak Republic in the field of science and technology, particularly biomedical engineering, and for promoting the good name of Slovakia abroad.

We are extremely proud of our Dean and his contribution to the faculty and to Slovakia.

Warm congratulations
