From Labs to Life: PhD Journeys Unplugged
From coffee breaks to career tips, students explored the twists and turns of the PhD journey with those who’ve walked the path before them.
The South Moravian Region wants to open a new gymnasium with a science profile from September 2024. The project was initiated by the management of SPŠCH Brno. It will be located in the building of the former business academy on Pionýrská street, which will be reconstructed. The content, form and structure of the courses of the new gymnasium have already been discussed at the SPŠCH Brno.
The aim is to offer top general secondary education with an emphasis on natural sciences in the new premises. University teachers will be involved in teaching at the new gymnasium.
A working group involving representatives of Brno universities and the management of the faculties with which the new high school will work closely met at the beginning of the week to prepare the content concept.
"We have proposed eight subjects that the faculty could provide," said Markéta Munzarová, Vice-Dean for Cooperation with Secondary Schools, Talent Management, Social Affairs and Lifelong Learning of the Faculty of Science at the meeting of the Extended Advisory Board.
The faculty expects that involvement in teaching already at the high school level will help to establish contact and catch the interest of talented and motivated science students in time.
The South Moravian Region has about 180 educational organisations. Of these, about a hundred are schools, the rest are leisure centres and the like. The last time the region opened a new gymnasium was 30 years ago.

The Czech national team achieved an extraordinary triumph at the International Earth Science Olympiad (IESO 2025), a prestigious competition for high school students from around the world. The event, held in Jining, China, from August 7 to 17, 2025, tested both theoretical knowledge and practical skills across disciplines such as geology, hydrology, climatology, astronomy, and environmental science. In addition, the competition evaluated research capabilities and teamwork.
