(This content has been translated automatically.) Dear employees, Summer semester classes are already in the past at most faculties, and the students are beginning the period of various examinations. Therefore, we have once again improved the UPlikace, which in the new version brings a clearer view of exam dates and other nice features. We have prepared an extended offer of employee benefits or free registration for the family run during the Olomouc Half Marathon. The Olomouc Museum Night is coming up this Friday, and our university will be joining in. We also invite you to the upcoming May Fest (Majáles), which, however, involves several restrictions in the vicinity of the Armoury (Zbrojnice), about which we inform you below. | | | A better deal to the spa, the rope centre or a summer English course With summer approaching, the range of employee benefits is once again a little richer. You can stay at a discount at the Karlova Studánka Mountain Spa or try the wellness at the Lorkova vila hotel in Čeladná. If you don't feel like riding a shared Nextbike, use the services of Atlant taxi, our long-standing partner. You can send your children to the Proud Rope Centre, the Academic Sport Centre or the Fort Science camps, or to an intensive English course. You can find more news here (in Czech), and all the benefits provided by university facilities and other external partners on the university website in the Employees – Discounts and Benefits section. | | Free registrations for the dm family run as part of the half marathon As a proud partner of the Olomouc Half Marathon, which will take place on Saturday 18 June, we have free registrations for the traditional dm family run (one registration normally worth CZK 200 per person). If you are interested in a registration start code, please email us at soutez@upol.cz by Wednesday 25 May with the subject "DM běh". We will distribute the codes to the 35 fastest registrants. Everyone can win a medal in the family run – even beginners, children on bicycles or active seniors can manage the short route of about 3 km. | | | Olomouc May Fest (Majáles) UP will bring a rich program and several restrictions On 24–25 May, the Communications Office, or rather the department of the Vice-Rector for Communication and Student Affairs, is preparing the traditional student festival – Olomouc May Fest (Majáles) UP. In connection with the organization of the event, we would like to inform you about a few organizational issues and the resulting restrictions that will occur in the area of the Armoury (Zbrojnice) and its surrounding area during the mentioned period. We apologize in advance for these restrictions in case they affect you in any way, and we cordially invite you to the event. 23–24 May - construction of the stage and stalls in the courtyard of the Armoury (Zbrojnice)
25 May - Biskupské náměstí closed to cars from 6:00 a.m. to midnight (map of restrictions)
- construction of stalls on Biskupské náměstí, demolition in the evening
- programme in the Armoury (Zbrojnice) courtyard from 13:00 to midnight
26 May - dismantling of the stage and stalls at the Armoury (Zbrojnice)
27 May - technical services will clean the courtyard and the area in front of the Armoury with a car/vacuum cleaner.
Once again, we apologize for any complications and we would be happy to see you at any of the many program points (in Czech) on or off the Armoury (Zbrojnice). | | Questions for PROPOST If you have any queries about the Programme for the Promotion of Strategic Management in Universities (Programu pro podporu strategického řízení vysokých škol – PROPOST), which is administered by the RUP Strategy and Quality Office, please direct them to Mgr. Andrea Sojková ( andrea.sojkova@upol.cz | 585 631 047). | | Literary competition winners For the twenty-eighth time, students have submitted their poetry and prose texts to the Literary Competition for UP students, announced by the Rector of the University. The expert jury, which included Jana Vrajová, Radek Malý and Michal Sýkora, evaluated 126 entries from 120 students. So who won and who was awarded an honourable mention? You can find it together with photos in the article on the UP Journal (in Czech). The winning texts will soon be available to read on the website spisovatele.upol.cz (in Czech), but you can also come and listen to them at the author's reading of the award-winning authors – it will take place on Wednesday, 25 May at 5:00 pm at the Konvikt Park as one of the points of the programme of the Majáles (in Czech). | | | An evening in honour of František Palacký: Rudy Linka Did you know that our university could bear the name (in Czech) of Josef Dobrovsky? But in the end – we all know this by now – after its restoration in 1946 it was named after the Moravian František Palacky. This year's evening, which the university is organising in honour of this important historian and politician, will feature Rudy Linka, a Czech jazz guitarist who has lived in the USA since 1985, organiser of the Bohemia JazzFest festival, presenter and world citizen. Come and see his One Man Show Between the Lines... (in Czech) on Tuesday, 31 May at 7 pm in the auditorium of the Faculty of Education. | | | Try how to race dragon boats The fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar is the annual 端午节 holiday. Did you know? If you don't, know that it's the Dragon Boat Festival and that the Confucius Institute UP is planning to celebrate it in Olomouc this year. Come on June 9 to see, but most importantly, to actively participate in the dragon boat competition at Poděbrady lake! You can look forward to training races, the competition itself and the accompanying program organized in cooperation with Academic sport center. Each team must have a captain, a drummer and 9 or 7 crew members. As the deadline is approaching, read the detailed information and go straight to find a team. | | Holiday Czech courses at cheaper prices Would you like to start learning Czech? Or have you already embarked on this thorny path and are interested in moving on? The Summer School of Slavonic Studies at the UP Faculty of Arts, which will offer an intensive Czech course for everyone from beginners to advanced students from July 16 to August 14, is offering UP students and staff a better price. It is possible to attend either a two-week or a month-long school, which in addition to classes also includes excursions, screenings, folklore evening or sports afternoons.
