(M.Cs.) WOMEN ON WORKMARKET

The goal of the WOWIT project is to empower women and other disadvantaged ethnic groups to create value in the labor market with equal opportunities. All over the world, it is much more difficult for women to find work than for men. When women are employed, they tend to work in low-quality jobs in vulnerable conditions, and there will be little improvement in the near future. WoWIT gets the inclusive techniques behind the trends and reports on removing the barriers that prevent women from decent work. In cooperation with Futureg. Co-financed by Erasmus+

(M.S.) Slovaks understand the EU content

Directives and regulations of the European Commission affect the lives of millions of Europeans.

Thanks to this cooperation, all citizens of the Slovak Republic can read and understand various EU policies such as ecological agriculture, the maintenance of our personal sensitive data by the private sector or the possibilities to travel across Europe without a passport and visas.

(M.S.) ‘Do you need a doctor?’ – ‘Boil water for safe drinking.’   

Basic phrases that can change and save lives in a humanitarian emergency. Yet often communication fails because humanitarian aid workers and the people affected do not speak the same language.  As member of non-profit organization Translators without borders we participated in various projects.

(M.S.) Türkiye – Slovakya

As part of the research group within the Department of World History at Comenius University, we have contributed to the foundational research on the relations between the Habsburgs and the Ottoman sultans. The results of the research in the form of studies and other publications still serve today as fundamental source for all who are or plan to be active in the scientific or cultural field and develop Slovak – Turkish relations.
