Today we commemorate Africa Day, an annual commemoration of the founding of the Organization of African Unity on 25 May 1963. Currently, more than 150 African students are studying at our faculty in bachelor's, master’s, and doctoral programs, they are mainly from Nigeria, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Zambia, Rwanda, Senegal and other countries.

Euroleague for Life Sciences (ELLS) pořádá každoročně studentskou vědeckou konferenci pro studenty z ELLS univerzit. Hlavním tématem letošního ročníku je The Power of Science - Many Perspectives on our World

Fakulta tropického zemědělství je malá instituce s pestrými mezinárodními aktivitami. Hledáme člověka, který bude mít přirozený zájem proniknout do univerzitního prostředí a života na naší fakultě, a bude nám oporou. Tato pozice není jen čistě manažerská, ale především exekutivní. Budete potřeba všude tam, kde se bude něco dít.

The Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences hosted the Agrinatura General Assembly 2023 and scientific conference held from 10th May to 12th May. The General Assembly and international conference have proved to be a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and collaboration in agriculture for development. The Agrinatura General Assembly and conference brought together experts and professionals from different parts of the world to share ideas, experiences, and insights on various aspects of agriculture.

Almost 90 participants from 30 international institutions took part in these events and were actively engaged in the presentations, discussions, and networking sessions. Their presence made a significant impact on the quality of the event and helped create a platform for exchange and collaboration among attendees.

We would like to express gratitude to the esteemed speakers and presenters who shared their invaluable expertise and experiences during the conference.

The key topics discussed during the conference were:

• Challenges and opportunities for youth involvement in Food Systems Evolution
• Social innovations for Food Systems Transition
• Implementation of technical innovations in Agroecological practices

The programme of the conference is available here: Agrinatura 2nd Conference 2023 | Agrinatura (agrinatura-eu.eu)

Global Research Collaboration: Harnessing Innovation for Food Systems Transition

Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Czech Republic, 11 May 2023

Do České republiky přijela Doc. D.Sc. Yelizaveta Chernysh, PhD. ze Sumy State University na Ukrajině vloni v březnu, a hned navázala na dlouhodobou spolupráci s Biogas Research Team vedeným docentem Hynkem Roubíkem z Fakulty tropického zemědělství ČZU. „V České republice se mi moc líbí, obzvlášť Praha a její historická část, ale pro mne je to tady především o pokračování ve výzkumu,“ říká docentka Chernysh.

Tým docenta Hynka Roubíka z  Fakulty tropického zemědělství ČZU v Praze se ve spolupráci s dalšími evropskými partnery věnuje tématu fosfosádrovce. Projekt je podpořen výzvou ERAMIN.
