Dear students,

whether you are at home, on the road or at work, we have another edition of the university newsletter for you. In it, we'll give you an insight into what's going on at the University over the holidays, and also find out how you can get involved too. The university magazine, Žurnál Online, hasn't been sleeping over the summer either. We wish you a pleasant reading experience.

WHAT’S GOING ON AT UP

Universitas magazine on university quality

Interesting news from Czech universities can be read regularly on the website Universitas , where you can also subscribe to the newsletter. Its latest issue (in Czech) focuses on the quality of universities or the mandatory disclosure of research data. It also features an interview with the new Chairman of the National Accreditation Office, Jaroslav Miller, Rector Emeritus of UP. Read the full newsletter on the web. (in Czech)
