The Masaryk University budget for 2024 amounting to CZK 11.8 billion was approved by the MU Academic Senate at its 278th session on Monday. Compared to the previous year, the budget has increased by CZK 1.8 billion.

An interesting programme for MUNI DAY was jointly prepared by MU libraries. Under the umbrella brand of MUNI LIB, they will offer educational and entertainment activities on the Bohunice University Campus.

On Wednesday, 15 May, the first year of the MUNI RUN will take place on the university campus in Bohunice. Participation is open to the general public – adults, children, students and MU employees. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the MUNI HELPS Volunteer Centre.

Even 20 years after joining, Czechs are more sceptical of the EU than other nations. But according to political scientist Petr Kaniok, Czech euroscepticism has never really come close to a desire to leave the EU. On the contrary, EU membership has cultivated the Czechs in many ways.

Last week Masaryk University welcomed a rare delegation of almost forty academic and non-academic staff from ten Ukrainian universities who came to Brno to receive training in hybrid teaching.

The gathering of Masaryk University students and employees at MUNI DAY will start on 16 May. Register for the event or one of the remaining supporting programme activities and join hundreds of others for a day full of sport, learning and fun!

On the proposal of the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University awarded honorary doctorates to Thomas Robert Cech, who is also a Nobel laureate, and Peter Wolfram Michor in the Karel Engliš Auditorium today.

In less than a month, MUNI DAY – the largest university-wide gathering of students and staff of Masaryk University – will begin. The event will take place on Thursday 16 May on the Bohunice University Campus. Do not forget to register!

The second edition of MUNI DAY will be a sporting and social event for the entire academic community. The Rector has declared the 16th of May as a University holiday for students. Employees may attend with the approval of their supervisor.

In addition to changes reflecting legislative developments, the new MU Study and Examination Regulations feature more concise and understandable wording, reflect recent teaching practices at MU and harmonise terminology with other university internal regulations. 

The aim of the lecture series is to bring renowned researchers, lecturers and speakers to Brno to discuss current issues and trends in science and to establish important professional contacts.

Pavel Plevka believes in the importance of sharing best practices among researchers and building cohesion in the scientific community. He is also positive about the use of artificial intelligence.
