In just 5 weeks the biggest university-wide sports and social gathering of students and employees of Masaryk University – MUNI DAY – will start. The Bohunice University Campus will welcome MU alumni for the first time on Wednesday 14 May.
All runners are invited and they do not have to be MU employees or students: MUNI RUN in the Bohunice campus on 13 May is open to adults and children alike.
Starting this year, Masaryk University has introduced a groundbreaking innovation: contracts with its faculties and institutes. The contracts will be linked to the funding of research at MU.
Masaryk University confirms that it is the most successful institution of its kind in the Czech Republic in obtaining support from the European Union; currently within the framework of calls for postdoctoral projects.
The Brno Ph.D. Talent Award supports aspiring doctoral students in science and engineering in their research. This year, the top twenty-five were awarded a prize of CZK 360,000.
Tereza Jeřábková, winner of last year’s MUNI Award in Science and Humanities, has been working at the Faculty of Science since February. Her decision to return to the Czech Republic was strategic and motivated by her desire to contribute to the development of the local scientific environment. The astronomer seeks to link the physical processes of star formation and evolution with the broader context of the galaxies where the stars are born.

At the end of last year, the RECETOX center successfully completed a project funded by the Czech Science Foundation (GA CR) titled “Alternative Approaches in the Assessment of Male Reproductive Toxicity of Chemical Mixtures Without Animal Testing.” The project focused on potentially hazardous chemicals and their mixtures that can affect reproduction or reproductive health in men. The main goal was to improve this assessment by incorporating in vitro models, which have proven to be more effective and relevant than currently used animal testing.
