About the faculty

The activities of the Faculty are focused on teaching, scientific research and professional operational work. Scientific research work is the basis for the quality work of teaching staff and collaborators, and the UL VF ensures that such work is carried out at the highest level in cooperation with domestic and foreign established, high-quality research institutions.
