The team has significantly contributed to the development of a modern scientific and pedagogical workplace at UPJŠ with a focus on the third level of education and the study of advanced materials, especially in the field of nanoporous materials and the MOFs, magnetic nanoparticles and micro wires. Under PhD studies, PhD students training were/are undergoing by co-toutelle de these with workplaces in Marseille (Frace), Oviedo (Spain), San Sebastian (Spain), and Paris-Sud (France). The co-toutelle doctoral students are supervised by V. Zeleňák and R. Varga.
