The fifteen-year history of this international festival of popular science films proves that the promotion of science has its fans across generations. Every autumn, students and staff of CZU – as well as people from the surrounding community – look forward to this showcase of documentaries that take them deep into the fascinating world of science. The films present scientific topics in an engaging and accessible way, while often revealing deeper issues behind the scenes — as reflected in this year’s festival theme, “Dive In.”

The war in Ukraine has forced millions of people to leave their homes. Among them are students who had to abruptly interrupt their studies and seek refuge in neighbouring countries.

The Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences is once again part of the Researchers’ Night, taking place this Friday, 26 September at the CZU campus. Join us to experience the atmosphere of the tropics and see how research is done in the fields of plants, genetics or traditional knowledge.
