Visit from Sherubtse college, Royal University of Kanglung, Bhutan.

On 24 April 2024, a rare visitor from the Sherubtse college, Royal University of Kanglung, Bhutan visited our institute (https://www.sherubtse.edu.bt). A team of university lecturers and students from the Sherubtse college is visiting the Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra as a part of the Erasmus plus mobility program. Their visit to the Nitra branch of our institute was organized by Mgr. Veronika Piscová, PhD., and Ing. Regina Mišovičová, PhD. from the Constantine the Philosopher University. The guests from Bhutan were welcomed by the director RNDr. Ľuboš Halada, CSc., who presented the institute, its organizational structure, research focus, currently ongoing projects, as well as popularization and publication activities. We presented research on the Trnava LTSER platform with a movie authored by Ing. Svetlana Košánová and prof. Zita Izakovičová, PhD. Mgr. Juraj Lieskovský, PhD. impressed them with a presentation on the use of LIDAR. Very interesting for us was the presentation and short movie about the Sherubtse college and also about the country of Bhutan, presented to us by Dr. Yezer Yezer with colleagues Dr. Rinzin Choden, Dr. Karma Yangzom and Dr. Tshering Denker. We had the opportunity to see a piece of their kingdom, traditional national clothes, dances with masks and hear their songs. We also learned about the possibilities of studying at Sherubtse college, its organizational structure, current projects, plans and visions for the future. We ended the meeting with an interesting discussion about our countries, customs, current challenges and problems, especially in the field of research and higher education.
