In addition to university representatives, there was also a delegation of the Ministry of Education, Research, Development and Youth of the Slovak Republic, led by its Minister, Mr. Tomáš Drucker and the State Secretary for Higher Education, Mr. Róbert Zsember.
NAFSA is one of the world's largest education fairs and more than 9,500 education internationalisation experts gathered at the annual conference. The aim was to discuss and share information about education, as well as to build new contacts and partnerships.
TUKE's participation in this prestigious fair supported the internationalisation of the university's academic environment and TUKE promotion abroad, which is part of a project funded by the Slovak Republic Recovery and Resilience Plan.
