The Faculty of Medicine of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice invites students, teachers, and faculty staff to the Opening Ceremony of the 2026/2027 Academic Year, which will take place on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. in the Assembly Hall of the Faculty of Medicine at Trieda SNP 1.
The event is traditionally an opportunity for the academic community to come together, reflect on the achievements of the past period, and discuss the plans and challenges that lie ahead in the new academic year.
The ceremony will begin with an address by the Rector of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. The programme will also include the introduction of newly appointed professors, associate professors, and holders of other academic qualifications, as well as the presentation of the Rector’s Awards in various categories. The programme will be complemented by a performance by the university choir Chorus Universitatis Šafarikianae.
The beginning of a new academic year is not only an opportunity to come together, but also a chance to find inspiration and motivation for the months ahead. We hope that the new academic year will bring students, teachers, and other faculty staff many successes, new opportunities, and inspiring experiences in their studies, teaching, and research.
Please note: In connection with the event, classes will be suspended from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
