Thank you again and again for such a wonderfully organized conference! It was a pleasure taking part in the discussion, meeting my fellow onomatopoeia researchers. Kosice is a nice town.

KOŠICE – A UNIVERSITY CITY AND EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE IN 2013

Košice is a city with an eventful and illustrious past and multicultural and colourful present. It is a seat of culture and education. During the university semesters students make the city their own, and one may find them at every turn: in the theatres, the museums, the galleries, the concert halls, the libraries, and the parks. Almost nine thousand future professionals in medical, legal, scientific, social, philosophical disciplines and arts study at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University, further swelling the already large permanent population of the city of over 240,000.

Košice’s earliest documents date back to 1230 and refer to it as “Villa Cassa”. Its coat of arms is the oldest in Europe, a fact attested to by a letter dating from 1369. The city's historic sights – from various periods – are concentrated in the centre, the Urban Heritage Area. The recently reconstructed Main Street, lined by the houses and palaces of the burghers of the past, offers visitors a pleasant stroll, and is also the venue for many major events. Košice has always been known for its extraordinary mixture of cultures and dialects, a mixture that contributes greatly to the attractions of the city.

From the railway or bus station to the city centre
While there is a taxi rank in front of the railway and bus stations, walking to the centre is really quite quick and easy. The historical centre, with the majority of hotels, restaurants, stores and the enchanting Main Street – “HLAVNÁ ULICA” – is only a 7 to 9-minute walk from the railway and bus stations. If arriving by train, go out of the right-most doors of the station and walk straight along the pavement in front you. If arriving by bus, walk along the front of the railway station (which will be on your right as you exit the bus terminal) to the second set of doors and turn left to walk along the pavement. As you walk, you will pass a tram stop (on your left). Continuing straight on, you will cross the road (cars don’t always stop for pedestrians at pedestrian crossings, so please be careful!) to walk down an alley of trees through the city park. You should already be able to see the cathedral tower in the distance. Once you have crossed a pedestrian bridge, you will enter Mlynská Street – “MLYNSKÁ ULICA”. As you continue straight on, you will exit Mlynská Street at the Cathedral, which is actually in the middle of Main Street – “HLAVNÁ ULICA“.

The Peace Marathon Square – “NÁMESTIE MARATÓNU MIERU is easily recognisable by a clearly visible statue of a marathon runner on the left hand side as well as by two large buildings of the East Slovak Museum (yellow and cream respectively) located on the left and right sides of the square.

Saturday, 25th June 2022 at 15.15 The Butterfly Show in the University Botanical Garden

Optional trip 1 to Stará Ľubovňa

The departure is from the entrance to the Platon building at 9.00 and the trip ends there as well around 17.00 (so everybody can join the conference dinner at 19.00 at Teledom Hotel, Timonova 27). The trip is free (including the bus transport, the guide and entrance fees) and participants will only pay for their lunches and drinks. The trip will cover the visit to the castle, open air museum and lunch in the traditional local restaurant – “Salaš u Franka”.

The Stará Ľubovňa Castle and the Open-Air Museum of the Folk Architecture

Let’s experience the medieval times of Slovakia in a picturesque region of Spiš. Above the town of Stará Ľubovňa stands a very well-preserved castle dating back to the 13th century. Visible from afar thanks to its majestic walls built upon a limestone cliff, it is a landmark nobody can miss. And so it has been, for more than eight centuries, when the castle served as a stronghold on the borders of Hungarian kingdom. Today, we can visit a captivating historical museum hidden within its walls, offering glimpses into the lives of medieval landlords.

But the lives of their subjects, the common people, were no less interesting. We can explore their history at the foot of the castle, in the open-air museum of folk architecture. It is an example of an untouched traditional Slovak village with the wooden houses, mill, smithery and the Greek-catholic church.

Optional trip 2 to The High Tatras

Ski Museum, Art Gallery and Popradské pleso (tarn) walk

The departure is from the entrance to the Platon building at 8.00 and the trip ends there as well around 18.00. The trip is free (including the bus transport, the guide, entrance fees) and participants will only pay for their lunches and drinks. The trip will cover a light walk to the tarn, visit to the symbolic cemetery, lunch in the traditional local restaurant “Koliba Žerucha”, and visits to the Ski Museum and Art Gallery in the Lomnica Hotel in Tatranská Lomnica.

The walk to one of the most famous mountain lakes in the heart of the High Tatras will include a visit to symbolic cemetery. Popradské pleso is a mountain lake of glacial origin located in the High Tatras. It is situated on the Tatranská magistrála hiking path, at an altitude of 1,494 metres (4,902 ft). Popradské pleso is one of the most visited spots in High Tatras and a starting point for many popular hikes including Rysy and Kôprovský štít. There is a symbolic cemetery, built in a memory of the victims of the High Tatras, near the lake.
As with any other mountain excursion, proper hiking footwear is a must, although most of the walk is on paved trail. It is also important to note that weather in the mountains can change suddenly, so it is advised to take a warm, rain-proof jacket. It is also highly advised to take sufficient amount of water.

After the walk you will enjoy well-deserved lunch in the traditional local restaurant – “Koliba Žerucha”, and afternoon visits to the Ski Museum and Art Gallery Lomnica (with very good coffee/tea and fantastic cakes) in the Lomnica Hotel in Tatranská Lomnica village.

Optional visit to the Butterfly Show in the University Botanical Garden

The departure is from the entrance to the Platon building at 15.15 (by tram from a nearby tram stop) and the trip ends there as well around 18.00. The trip is free (including the tram transport and entrance fees).

SPECIALTIES FROM SLOVAK CUISINE

“Bryndzové halušky” (Sheep cheese dumplings) is the national Slovak dish. Sheep cheese gives a unique flavour to the meal by itself, but it is even tastier with small pieces of bacon greaves and sour cream. It is usually served with a glass of sour milk called “Žinčica”.

“Kapustnica” (Cabbage soup) is a Slovak thick sauerkraut soup traditionally prepared at the end of the year for Christmas. Kapustnica can be prepared in a lot of ways (ingredients, length of cooking, etc.) and it differs from region to region. In some regions, Kapustnica may contain smoked meat, sausages and mushrooms, in some regions it is a much simpler soup.

Fried Cheese with French Fries is a very popular Slovak/Czech dish mostly served with French fries and Tartar sauce (Tatárska omáčka) and salad.

“Lángoš” (Deep fried bread) is originally a Hungarian food but it is also a favourite take-away in Slovakia. Sometimes you’ll find it in restaurants as a starter. It is usually served with garlic, cheese, sour cream or ketchup on top (you can choose whatever ingredients you like).

“Prívarok” (Prívarok) is a typical Slovak dish, similar to soups in its consistency but much denser. It comes in many variations depending on the ingredients – pumpkins, lentils, beans, potatoes, dill, etc. It is usually consumed with a slice of bread and sausages or fried eggs might be added on top.

P.J.ŠAFÁRIK UNIVERSITY

Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice (UPJŠ) is the second oldest university in Slovakia. The history of higher education in Košice goes back to the year 1657, when the bishop Benedict Kishdy founded the Academia Cassoviensis, which was run by the Jesuits of Jesus’ Community. The University of Košice Golden Bull issued in 1660 by the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I granted the Universitas Cassoviensis the same privileges as all the other universities of the Habsburg empire. The structure of Universitas Cassoviensis was similar to that of other universities, with faculties of Philosphy, Law and Theology, the last of these being the strongest. Study at the Philosophical Faculty was dedicated primarily to philosophy, history and languages, but the lectures – which were in Latin – also included presentations of the natural sciences: physics, mathematics, geography and botany. The Universitas Cassoviensis had its own library and a church, and it significantly influenced the advancement of science, educational attainment and spiritual culture in the 17th and 18th centuries.

In 1959 the traditions of the Universitas Cassoviensis were revived through the foundation of the Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice. It originally consisted of the Faculty of Medicine (in Košice) and the Faculty of Philosophy (in Prešov). Gradually the university was enlarged by the addition of new faculties:the Faculty of Science in Košice in 1963, the Faculty of Education in Prešov in 1964, Faculty of Law in Košice in 1973, the Faculty of Public Administration in Košice in 1998, and finally the Faculty of Arts in Košice in 2007.

Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice is the second classical university of Slovakia. It ranks among the important and widely-recognized educational and research institutions not only in Slovakia, but also in Europe. Its key mission is to provide education and service to its students and the community by spreading knowledge based on the most recent scientific findings in an international context, as well as to conduct high-quality research. The UPJŠ also supports activities contributing to the education and culture of the public and it helps students develop greater wisdom, creativity, tolerance, critical and independent thinking, self-confidence, and both regional and national awareness.

At present the UPJŠ provides education at its five faculties to almost 9,000 students in more than 105 BA, 65 MA and 35 PhD programmes, with more than 700 lecturers and research staff who use the results of their own high-quality scientific research, the most recent experimental technology, the latest ITC and innovative methods of education.

The University has mainly focused on creating a permanent system of monitoring and improving the quality of education in all the accredited study programmes. Instead of extensive generating new study programmes and increasing the number of students, the emphasis has been placed on optimising the content and methods of implementation of the existing study programmes. The university policy is to promote maximum mutual openness and connectedness of courses, so that the students may benefit from the widest range of opportunities across the university, not just within individual faculties. Improving the quality of the education provided and of the university organization has required a focus on improvement of the physical infrastructure, particularly continuous modernisation and variation of teaching technology, specifically exploiting the Internet and new information technologies.

Students can use the services of the University Library, the Centre for Information and Communication Technologies, and the Botanical Garden. The UPJŠ has more than 2,500 accommodation places, and excellent catering services located near the city centre. The Institute of Physical Education and Sports offers education in the field of sports and recreation, training courses for students, physical education camps, and hobby sports activities for staff, students and public throughout the year, also organizing such events as University Days of Sport, the Wellness Day, or the Intervention Motion Programme.

Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice has established itself in the European education and research arena. It is a member of the European University Association and a signatory of Magna Charta Universitatum. It is a seat of the European Documentation Centre, the Institute of European Law and the Austrian Library. Both education and scientific research at the UPJŠ are carried on in a broad international context and follow European trends. The research teams, led by internationally recognized personalities, use funding from both national and international sources; every year up to 200 research projects are funded (around 20 by foreign grants). The number of publications per staff member in high-quality international journals, the high proportion of papers registered in the Current Contents Connect database and the number of citations in registered databases rank the UPJŠ amongst the best research universities in Slovakia.

The development of the international dimension of the UPJŠ is closely related to the LLP/Erasmus mobility programme for staff and students and to mobility within the National Scholarship Programme of the Slovak Republic. The numbers of UPJŠ students who complete part of their studies abroad as well as the number of incoming students and staff are all growing. The UPJŠ has more than 230 Erasmus bilateral agreements with universities in 20 countries. For international Erasmus students, the International Office of UPJŠ regularly organizes EILC – Erasmus Intensive Language Courses – that enable incoming students to study the Slovak language, to understand the Slovak culture, and to become familiar with the academic milieu in Slovakia.
Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice is also open to Free Movers.
