On December 5, 2019, the Honorary Degree of Doctor Honoris Causa in the field of environmental sciences was awarded at Masaryk University to John P. Giesy of the University of Saskatchewan for his lifelong scientific contribution in the field of environmental sciences and for his long-term cooperation with RECETOX.
The program of prof. Giesy at the Masaryk University included also his lecture, which focused on toxicological evaluation of perfluoroacetate (PFOS) in the environment, and the interviews with young RECETOX researchers who had the opportunity to discuss with prof. Giesy not only the relevant research topics, but also their career development.
On September 27, 2024, over two hundred enthusiastic scientists, teachers and students prepared 62 stands on the theme ‘Transformations in the natural sciences and mathematics’, attracting more than 4,500 visitors to both SCI MUNI campuses.
On September 24, a group of graduates from the teacher training program in mathematics and physics visited us. They completed their studies in 1970, so we gave them a tour to show how the faculty has changed since then.
