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. 

The Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU Prague) and the Czech Agrifood Research Center (CARC) signed a partnership agreement on 10 June 2026, opening new opportunities for cooperation in research, education, and innovation.

The European research project LENS, in which the Faculty of Engineering at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague was involved, has revealed significant differences between laboratory tests and the real-world operation of motorcycles and other light vehicles. Researchers found that, in everyday traffic, these vehicles produce considerably more noise and harmful emissions than current approval procedures indicate. At the same time, the project proposes concrete measures that could help improve air quality and quality of life in cities.

On 17 June, the CZU Food Pavilion hosted the fifth edition of the International University Canteen Championship, a culinary competition bringing together teams from university dining facilities across the Czech Republic. The trophy for the best culinary performance quite literally stayed at home, as it was won by Food Pavilion chefs Jiří Dobš and Vojtěch Kletečka.

On Monday, 15 June 2026, six recent graduates of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague received the Minister of Agriculture Award. The award is presented annually to the best student from each faculty for a master’s thesis with an exceptional contribution to practice in the fields of agriculture, forestry, food production and rural development. The award also includes a financial prize determined by the Ministry. The award ceremony traditionally takes place during the summer graduation ceremonies of the individual faculties.
