Masaryk University has taken precautionary measures in connection with the risk of flooding in MU buildings and workplaces, including dormitories. The Faculty of Education has cancelled classes and services in MU dormitories have been severely restricted. Follow the situation here as it develops.

Continuous improvement of comfort at dormitories has long been among MU’s long-term priorities. Last year the Mánesova dormitory underwent renovations of the interiors; this year the dormitory at bratří Žůrků saw the much needed layout upgrade.

MU is once again an active participant in the European Sustainability Week. Mobility is this year’s key topic.

Masaryk University has long followed the “biggest celebration of sports” – the Olympic and Paralympic Games. In addition to a few TOP 10 results in Paris, it can be proud of “its” medal success: the fencing team’s bronze medal is a result of collaboration with Dean of the Faculty of Sports Jan Cacek.

In the summer, the Centre for International Cooperation of Masaryk University opened the first year of the summer school Urban Sustainability: Engage in the Future. The teachers received excellent responses to the three-week summer school – the students appreciated the practically oriented teaching and the opportunity to try out a case study on the streets of Brno.

The MU Quality Office has opened a call for internal projects supporting innovative teaching methods.

Masaryk University and its efforts to help Ukraine have attracted the attention of the European Parliament. The EP featured the DigiUni project in its three-and-a-half minute video, choosing it among many other projects from across Europe that promote the EU-Ukraine partnership.

This year, Masaryk University once again held a competition for the best photo from foreign studies with the motto "You won't experience this in Brno". A new photo contest for foreign students on the topic "Only in Brno" has been added. The six winning images come from the cameras of students of three faculties and from the summer school.
