Tatra banka invested several million Crowns to good educational projects for universities, where it is extremely important to support research and improvement of the teaching process. Tatra banka supported mainly the educational events in economy, finance, particularly scientific conferences, publishing text books, development of library systems (University of Economics in Bratislava), but also interesting and innovation projects in other universities (Comenius University in Bratislava, University of Arts in Bratislava, Alexander Dubček University, Catholic University in Ružomberok, Trnava University etc.).
