Starting by May, 1, I was nominated by the dean to the position of the director of the Institute for a period of 4 years.

This change also involves appointment of my two deputies: Ľubka Horanská for education and Martin Klaučo for research. The team is completed with Marián Gall being the institute secretary.

I am happy to confirm Martin Klaučo to continue as head of the Department of Information Engineering and Process Control. The new head of the Department of Mathematics will be Ľubka Horanská as Zdenko Takáč decided to step down. Zdenko, thank you for your lasting commitment to the department and its quality.

Last, but not the least, I would like to thank Michal Kvasnica, who served the last term. The times at the institute have never been better and our team will have to work hard to keep it.
