What happens when 23 of the most gifted high school students from across the country, top scientists, and a program packed with experiments come together in one place? You get a week that changes their perspective on science. 

Every year in mid-June, the CZU campus becomes a place where alumni of several generations recall their student years during ceremonial graduation events. In the afternoon, everyone with a connection to the university comes together to enjoy the Garden Party. This event is a symbolic gateway to summer. This year, it will take place on Saturday, 13 June.

The university campus in Prague-Suchdol has become a hub of environmental innovation. In 2025, CZU confirmed its role as a national leader when it defended first place in the Czech Republic in the prestigious international UI GreenMetric ranking, ranking 68th worldwide among more than 1,700 assessed institutions. In the QS Sustainability Rankings 2025, CZU also defended its leading position in the Environmental Impact category among 15 participating universities in the Czech Republic.

Research.com, a leading academic platform for scientists and researchers, has just published the 2026 edition of its ranking of top scientists in the field of environmental sciences.

The latest issue of Živá univerzita is out now, bringing a wealth of news, personal stories and topics shaping contemporary science and university life. And as CZU in Prague enters a new chapter under new leadership this year, this theme takes centre stage.
