PLUS student recognised for academic excellence by the President of Austria PLUS student recognised for academic excellence by the President of Austria ============================================================================= CIVIS Highlights 18 December 2023 PLUS student, Ingrid Vukusic, received a presidential recognition for her outstanding academic achievements during a ceremony held in collaboration with the Mozarteum University and attended by the President of Austria, Alexander van der Bellen. ![](/storage/files/sub-auspiciis-promotio-plus.jpg) photo: PLUS Successful candidates for the *"Promotio sub auspiciis Praesidentis rei publicae"* (Latin for "doctoral graduation under the auspices of the President of the Republic") must have achieved excellent results throughout their academic career, from their secondary school leaving certificates to their final doctoral examinations. Ms Vukusic, a mathematician, received the ring of honour from President Van der Bellen. Her dissertation, entitled *"Effective resolution of Diophantine problems related to S-unit equations"*, focuses on the field of number theory. The thesis consists of seven publications, all of which have already been published in international journals. The last ceremony of its kind ----------------------------- This academic milestone is one that around 20 doctoral students in Austria enjoy each year. The ceremony held between the PLUS and Mozarteum University is also the last ceremony of its kind, as future candidates from around Austria will be invited to an exclusive reception at the Hofburg in Vienna to receive their honours. **Discover all the details in the [original story, publised in German](https://www.plus.ac.at/news/bundespraesident-ehrt-absolventinnen-der-plus-und-der-universitaet-mozarteum/).** Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/euko-at-bild-800x600.jpg?token=8b0e68266375a76c6818dc87522df43f)Generative AI, a normal and familiar part of Austrian teenagers everyday lives CIVIS Highlights 23 February 2026 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/generative-ai-a-normal-and-familiar-part-of-austrian-teenagers-everyday-lives) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/internationalisation-800x600.png?token=e1b39583bd55dd3a1eea12a2c04d207d)University of Salzburg wins Internationalisation Award for Staff Mobility and Development CIVIS Highlights 17 December 2025 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/university-of-salzburg-wins-internationalisation-award-for-staff-mobility-and-development) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/satelite-image-800x600.jpg?token=e6954cf1dbd14132e641dd6fb1b92d1d)Earth observation and geoinformatics empower humanitarian response CIVIS Highlights 11 September 2025 ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/earth-observation-and-geoinformatics-empower-humanitarian-response) [Discover all our stories](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom) [ Sweden continues push for open access to scholarly publications ](< https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/stockholm-need-to-move-away-from-transformative-agreements-and-provide-open-access-to-scholarly-publications >) [ The longest light tunnel in Europe turned UB's Botanical Garden of the UB into the winter Garden of Lights ](< https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom/the-longest-lighted-tunnel-in-europe-set-up-at-the-botanical-garden-of-ub-the-place-turned-into-the-garden-of-lights-for-the-winter >) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
