From Labs to Life: PhD Journeys Unplugged
From coffee breaks to career tips, students explored the twists and turns of the PhD journey with those who’ve walked the path before them.
Several investment projects took place at the MU Faculty of Science’s Botanical Garden this year.
The public toilets were rebuilt in the Spring. Photogallery.
In May, reconstruction of the tropical plant greenhouse was started, during which the glazing was replaced, the steel structures painted and electrical installation work carried out. The completed greenhouse was then replanted between October and November. Photogallery 1 and photogallery 2.
In November, the construction of a storage tank for rainwater harvesting was completed. Rainwater is pumped into an existing tank in the greenhouse and this is used for watering the plants. This project was co-financed by the European Union’s Cohesion Fund under the Operational Program Environment. Photogallery.

The Czech national team achieved an extraordinary triumph at the International Earth Science Olympiad (IESO 2025), a prestigious competition for high school students from around the world. The event, held in Jining, China, from August 7 to 17, 2025, tested both theoretical knowledge and practical skills across disciplines such as geology, hydrology, climatology, astronomy, and environmental science. In addition, the competition evaluated research capabilities and teamwork.
