"Our longstanding efforts to officially stand alongside other globally recognized educational institutions as a university have come to fruition. By becoming a university, Alma Mater's position in the Slovenian and international community has been solidified, demonstrating the responsibility of teachers and students in meeting the standards and expectations regarding the quality of work, personnel, and organization,"  Professor Dr. Ludvik Toplak, the newly appointed Rector of Alma Mater University.

"Our mission is to develop new programs that are in demand and complementary to existing universities and to produce high-quality personnel competitive in both the domestic and European markets. Alma Mater has set its sights on becoming a center of excellence for Slovenia and the broader Central European region. We will respond to the economy's and public services' needs based on quality, relevance, and rationalization principles," added Dr. Ludvik Toplak. 

The university status of Alma Mater enables its inclusion in specific international associations, membership in which is conditioned by membership in the national rector's conference.

The expert team that prepared the report was led by an experienced specialist in the higher education system, Professor Dr. Barbara Toplak Perovič: "Studying at Alma Mater Europaea has always been a guarantee of quality, recognized by both students and employers. We are pleased that Alma Mater has also gained recognition from the scientific, academic, and professional communities. A university must demonstrate exceptional quality in education, scientific research, and related achievements. Our work's success reflects an annual growth rate of at least 5-10% in the number of students, teachers, researchers, and all other indicators."

"By becoming a full university, Alma Mater has increased the possibility of high-quality and rational internationalization, capable of conveying the achievements of Slovenian science to the world and keeping pace with and building upon the achievements of global centers of knowledge and culture, as a true European university," added Professor Dr. Jurij Toplak, who will oversee international collaboration.
