Attila Miseta, rector of the University of Pécs, thanked everyone for their work and achievements in the last academic year. He also talked about the Performance Assessment System, which "can never be perfect", but provides useful feedback on the work done. Miseta highlighted the role of individual trainings in the activities of the lecturers and added that "as a result of the operation of the UQ Foundation, we are moving in the right direction." The rector said that the goal so far has been quality research and education, the possibility of this has been improved.
