Our newly launched online MSc degree programme offers students from all over the world the opportunity to specialise in Tropical Agroecology!
The Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences invites all Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD students to take part in the FTZ Science Slam – a competition where each participant has five minutes to explain the essence of their research in an engaging and accessible way.
In mid-November, representatives of the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences travelled to Southeast Asia to present the faculty’s study programmes and research activities at two major education fairs – first in Cambodia, then in Thailand. The trip to Phnom Penh and Bangkok offered not only the opportunity to meet prospective students, but also to strengthen long-term partnerships, reconnect with alumni, and share expertise in a region where sustainable agriculture, natural resource protection and development remain key priorities.
In September 2025, Mohan Krishna Chowdry Avilineni successfully defended his thesis with Excellence and Honours at the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences, becoming the very first graduate of the Erasmus Mundus Global Forestry (GLOFOR) programme at CZU Prague. During his studies, he completed company internships, was a research member of the EU Horizon Invest4Nature project and presented his Nepal field school research at the Tropentag 2025 conference in Bonn, gaining valuable international experience across several European universities. Today, he has already started his professional journey as a Carbon Project Manager in Prague. In this interview, he shares his study experience, career path, and advice for future GLOFOR students.
