On 15 July this year we mark the centennial of the first doctorate of science being awarded at Slovenian universities, namely to Ana Mayer in the field of chemistry.
With this milestone, higher education institutions in Slovenia entered the map of institutions that award the highest officially recognised educational attainment and signify the top of the educational pyramid. For universities, doctors of science represent the foundation for high-quality staff, active in both pedagogical and research fields, while for the country they represent an important factor of social, scientific and technological advancement. Since 1991, 11,576 persons have attained the highest educational level (doctorate of science) at higher education institutions in Slovenia.
