To promote cooperation on Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defence (CBRND), the Ministry of Defence is to give Slovak universities a chance to cooperate with the SVK Army's CBRND facilities, for example, the Chemical Reference Laboratory Zemianske Kostoľany, the Training and Testing Centre Zemianske Kostoľany, and the Mobile Identification Laboratory Rožňava.
Towards this end, cooperation agreements between the Ministry of Defence and Comenius University Bratislava, Slovak Technical University Bratislava, Matej Bel University Banská Bystrica, and Pavol Jozef Šafárik University Košice have been signed by Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď.
Initiating a series of engagements with academia, Defence Minister Jaroslav Naď said: “I am convinced that closer links between the academic community and the MOD will be of mutual benefit – for example, the unique research conditions and professional activities at the Zemianske Kostoľany-based centre, which delivers training with live chemical warfare agents (CWAs), can inspire the potentially future CBRND specialists to sign up for the Slovak Army.”
As Jaroslav Naď explained, cooperation will be encouraged on thesis consultations, thesis defence, reviews of final papers and publications, exchange of scientific CBRND documents, books and information, joint research projects, and scientific events. The MOD expects academia to get more involved in the MOD's R&D projects and international defence capability development projects, with the use of EU instruments.
