The traditional Garden Party at Kotlářská, with which the Masaryk University (MU) Faculty of Science officially starts the new academic year, took place on Monday, September 18, 2023, on the faculty’s premises at Kotlářská. There, 350 visitors from the ranks of students, employees and invited guests took advantage of the opportunity to meet in a pleasant informal atmosphere. The program this year also included presentations of the new Masaryk University Faculty of Science Award.
The opening of the Garden Party was overseen by the Dean of the Faculty of Science, Tomáš Kašparovský, along with the Rector of Masaryk University, Martin Bareš. Together, they then undertook the subsequent presentation of the new Masaryk University Faculty of Science Awards. The awardees, who were all chosen based on nominations from the individual departments of the Faculty of Science, included outstanding teachers of natural sciences and mathematics, faculty alumni and schools and institutions with which the faculty has cooperated long-term. In all, the awards for 2023 were presented to 13 personalities in the various categories.

On September 27, 2024, over two hundred enthusiastic scientists, teachers and students prepared 62 stands on the theme ‘Transformations in the natural sciences and mathematics’, attracting more than 4,500 visitors to both SCI MUNI campuses.
On September 24, a group of graduates from the teacher training program in mathematics and physics visited us. They completed their studies in 1970, so we gave them a tour to show how the faculty has changed since then.
