Innovations in the area of research and education at universities in Slovakia

Abstract

The European Commission pays great attention to the need of innovations in the area of research, development and education since this area remains behind in comparison with the advanced countries such as the USA and Japan. The upgrading of education in the way it is stressed by the resolutions of the Bologna Process points up the necessity of increasing the quality by emphasising the linking of science and practice as well as gaining of skills and knowledge for their better application in practice. Therefore it will be necessary, even in the conditions of Slovakia which remains behind significantly as to the support of science and education, to direct the structural funds of the European Union towards modernisation of the universities and other institutions of higher education so that it could be possible to assure the qualities of research and improve the conditions in students’ preparation for their better performance in practice. In their paper the authors point to the possibilities of implementing the innovations in the area of research and development by presenting an example of the Research & Development and Information Centre of Bioenergy (VVICB) at Kapusany, and they also demonstrate the practical solutions of these activities.
