The Alma Mater Europaea University celebrated the graduation of new doctors of science and emphasized the importance of research work for the development of society and science.
At the solemn academic promotion of doctors of science, Alma Mater Europaea University welcomed new female and male doctors of science into its community last Saturday.
The awarding of doctorates represents the highest academic event and recognition of outstanding research achievements that significantly contribute to the development of scientific thought and broader social progress.
The university rector, Prof. Dr. Ludvik Toplak emphasized that Alma Mater Europaea University has in recent years strengthened its position as an internationally recognized higher education institution that connects scientific, artistic, and professional disciplines at all three Bologna levels. He gave special thanks to the European Academy of Sciences and Arts and its honorary president, Prof. Felix Unger, for their long-standing support.
"Doctoral studies at Alma Mater Europaea are not just education, but an entry into a global community of thinkers, researchers, and creators who, with their knowledge, co-create a better world," said the rector.
Alma Mater Europaea University is establishing itself as one of the pioneering academic institutions in the European area. It was among the first to introduce doctoral programs in the fields of physiotherapy, social gerontology, applied artificial intelligence, and strategic communication management. The study programs follow the highest international standards, and cooperation with renowned professors and international partners enables students access to the most advanced research practices and scientific findings.
At the solemn promotion of doctorates, the honorary rector of the University of Zagreb, Prof. Dr. Damir Boras, spoke as the keynote speaker. In his speech, he highlighted the importance of the new female and male doctors of science and arts for the future of the scientific community and society as a whole.
"I am convinced that you, the newly promoted doctors of science and arts, are the ones who will continue to drive forward both your own and our Alma Mater Europaea University and contribute to the development of education, science, and the economy of your and our societies and states, while representing and spreading scientific, academic, human, and family values that we are proud of. I wish you much success in your professional, personal, and family life. May it be full of love, mutual support, and especially young people, who in demographically impoverished Europe are our only real future," emphasized Prof. Boras.
Dear doctors of science, we wish you to continue using your knowledge with responsibility, courage, and vision. May curiosity, integrity, and a noble desire to co-create a better world guide you on your further path. Remain committed to the values of European ethics, culture, and scientific excellence, with knowledge as your strongest ally.
