The Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences (FTZ), Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, warmly invites prospective students, parents and the general public to its Open Day, held on Friday, 21 November 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

In June, the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences (FTZ), Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, launched the summer photo challenge “On the Road to Knowledge”, aiming to showcase the diverse range of activities carried out under the FTZ banner.

On 22 October 2025, a ceremony at the National Assembly of Senegal in Dakar marked 25 years of cooperation between Senegal and the Czech Republic in nature conservation and biodiversity protection. The event, organized by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Dakar, celebrated long-term achievements in protecting the Western Derby eland (Tragelaphus derbianus derbianus) – the world’s largest antelope and a symbol of the Senegalese savannah.

At the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences, we have our very own running club – Jungle Runners – bringing together students, academics, and staff who share a passion for running. We meet every Wednesday at 12:00 for joint training sessions and take part in selected running competitions.

The BOOST4BIOEAST project, supporting the BIOEAST Initiative, launches the BIOEAST Open Innovation Challenge (OIC) – a collaborative platform designed to connect innovators, research teams, start-ups, and companies developing solutions for a sustainable and circular bioeconomy.

On September 23rd, 2025, Assoc. Prof. Ing. Hynek Roubík, Ph.D., Dean of the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences (FTZ) at CZU Prague and Director of the BRT Research Team, was invited to the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic to deliver a keynote presentation on the role of bioeconomy as a strategic tool in addressing climate change.

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.”

We warmly invite you to a lecture by Assoc. Prof. Karolína Brandlová on the topic “Sex, Gender, and Females in Zoology”, which will offer an inspiring perspective on sex, gender, and female behavior in the animal world – and beyond. The lecture will take place on October 16 at 3:30 PM in the Aula of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, and will be held in English.
