The Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences succeeded in the prestigious international competition in the ERA Chairs call of the Horizon Europe programme with its project HIVE: Centre for Biological Invasions in Forests. CZU therefore became one of the five Czech institutions that this year managed to obtain this grant in competition with 158 other proposals, and thus helped to place the Czech Republic in second place, just behind Portugal, in the informal competition of EU member states in the number of successful projects in this call.

Man is alive not only by science but also by sports and entertainment. This philosophy is fulfilled at the Czech University of Life Sciences at least once a year. For over twenty years, every morning in the middle of May, the sports complex has been filled with academics and university employees, and ceremonial horns announce the beginning of the sports games—this year, with the date of May 16.
