New dean of AFA

Slovak President Andrej Kiska appointed doc. Jozef Puttera as the new dean of the General Milan Rastislav Štefánik Armed Forces Academy (AFA). He succeeded the outgoing dean, Brig Gen Boris Ďurkech.

The Slovak Armed Forces need well-trained and well-educated military professionals. That’s why I am convinced that the Armed Forces Academy will, under the leadership of the new dean, always keep making advances and enhancing its credit at home and abroad,” said SVK Minister of Defence Martin Glváč.

Among the most important short-term plans of Jozef Puttera, the new dean of AFA, is to complete the comprehensive accreditation process and the construction projects to upgrade AFA from the EU Structural Funds. “The long-term projects include optimizing the education system, whether that be in the form of academic tertiary education or training under the cadet programme,” said Jozef Puttera.

The newly appointed dean of the Armed Forces Academy graduated from the Military Technical College and became a docent in the field of theoretical electrical engineering. In 2012, he assumed the post of Vice Dean for Education at the General Milan Rastislav Štefánik Armed Forces Academy in Liptovský Mikuláš. Jozef Puttera has taken part in providing solutions to a number of national and international projects. He is a co-author of three patents. His research and development papers have been published at national and international levels.
