ČZU announces Ideathon 2024

Several hundreds to thousands of students, employees and visitors pass through the ČZU campus every day.  Its further development, which will be in line with a sustainable approach and with an emphasis on biodiversity support, represents a great challenge. Now students can also get involved in the development of the campus and propose a workable solution during the two-day Ideathon.

 

They can choose from three themes:

  • Sustainable Mobility
  • Sustainable cultural events
  • A sustainable campus trail - blue-green infrastructure

 

How can you get involved? Students propose a team of 2 to 5 members and register it for the competition.

Registrations will be open until 6 April 2024 and places are limited, so we recommend applying as soon as possible.

 

What are the possible prizes to be won?

A total of 60,000 CZK will be distributed among the teams.

The prize will also be an interesting excursion and a Certificate of Competition Placement.

Long-term cooperation with universities from Indonesia

The FTA representatives were honored to welcome the delegation from two Indonesian universities to our faculty on 5th Macrh, namely the Rector of Bogor Agricultural University (IPB), Prof. Arif Satria, and  Vice-Rector for Planning and Partnership of Tadulako University (UNTAD), Prof. Aiyen Tjoa, accompanied by esteemed members from their respective institutions.

 

Building upon previous collaborations between FTA, IPB, and UNTAD (projects: EURASIA, ALFABET, SIMPLE), led by the FTA Vice-dean for International Relations, Dr. Petra Chaloupková, a longstanding cooperation has been established. Meeting our esteemed colleagues was a great pleasure.

 

The discussions were marked by fruitful exchanges focusing on future collaborations, further strengthening the existing Memorandums of Understanding. Following the productive discussions, both parties expressed interest in exploring new ways for cooperation and enhancing existing partnerships. Plans for joint research projects and academic exchanges were also discussed to solidify the bonds between CZU, IPB, and UNTAD.

Southern right whale in the changing world

Invitation to a Scientific Seminar of the Department of Animal Science and Food Processing. The event will take place on Thursday – March 14 from 2 p.m., room FTZ 116.

The southern right whale faces conservation challenges from historical hunting to climate change. With the molecular ecology approach, we have tracked its population structure and dynamics across time. The research confirmed the connectivity of the South Atlantic populations. Further studies of stable isotopes illustrated that South African right whales underwent a dramatic northward shift and diversification in foraging strategy. Considering further predictions of the significant impacts of global warming, the future of the southern right whales and other marine megafauna remains uncertain.

If you want to find more please join us and meet speakers we invited - Petra Nevečeřalová together with her supervisor Pavle Hulva from the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the Charles University, who are part of an international team of scientists investigating the situation of the southern right whale. In a series of scientific studies, they managed to illustrate what problems the southern right whale (Eubalaena australis) is currently facing.
