We all want to work and study in an environment where we feel respected, safe and have an equal chance to succeed. And that's exactly what the MU Faculty of Medicine is trying to do. In this episode of our series on a safe environment at MU Faculty of Medicine, we will focus on a topic that affects all of us - equal opportunity. These are the foundations for a fair and welcoming environment.

In the second year of the ComMUNIty Fund, 9 projects from 8 economic centres were supported for 884 thous. CZK.

In 2024, the Faculty of Medicine Masaryk University was in the middle of the second implementation period of the Revised HR Award Action Plan. This year has brought significant steps, particularly in strengthening internal communication, digitalization of education and safety measures.​

Masaryk University Faculty of Medicine is committed to ensuring that all students and employees have easy access to information that will help them navigate and feel safe and respected. We therefore make key topics related to safety, equal opportunities, scientific integrity, ethical behaviour and sustainability clearly accessible in one place.

Despite the fact that women now represent a significant part of the academic community, their career development in this field often faces a number of obstacles that prevent them from developing their full potential. Why is the issue of gender in academia so important? What are the key barriers that prevent women from reaching senior positions? Do you know what the Queen Bee syndrome or the glass ceiling effect is? Here's an overview of the most interesting information and concepts.

In recent months, the Faculty of Medicine has been working on a gender audit to analyse the Faculty's approach to individual processes in terms of ensuring equality of opportunity and planning support activities in this area. The audit also serves as a basis for the development of the Masaryk University Gender Equality Plan 2025-2028.

On 10th October, we commemorate World Mental Health Day. On this day, the MU Counselling Centre MU has prepared a Wellbeing day conference for MU students, which will offer an opportunity to learn more about the importance of mental health and ways to take care of your mental well-being and build mental resilience.

In line with its values, Masaryk University decided to participate again in the so-called European Week for Sustainable Development (ESDW) together with other public universities associated with the UNILEAD project.
