We bring you a selection of the most interesting things in science and research at our faculty in September. The beginning of the academic year 2024/2025 was also very eventful.

PhD Day at the MU Faculty of Medicine is an annual event that provides first-year PhD candidates and those interested in pursuing a PhD with an overview of study obligations and development opportunities. This year's event, held independently under the Faculty's banner for the first time, offered eight lectures on mobility and scholarships for using artificial intelligence in the life sciences. Thus, the event introduces the rules and requirements of PhD studies and inspires students to further their academic growth.

The sixth edition of Ethics on Run was attended by the largest number of people so far on the university campus in Brno-Bohunice. The proceeds of the charity event were also record-breaking.

The scholarship of forty thousand crowns has already been awarded to a second Norwegian student.

This year´s Researchers´ Night attracted 3,500 visitors to the campus. The Faculty of Medicine had 14 + 1 booths prepared for them.

To celebrate the beginning of the academic year, the Deans' Barbecue was traditionally held at the Bohunice campus on Thursday 26 September.

The first meeting of the Scientific Council in the new academic year is always ceremonial. This year's one took place on 26 September 2024 at the International Hotel Brno.

Professor Martin Repko, Head of the Orthopaedic Clinic at the Faculty of Medicine and Medical University in Brno, has achieved significant success at the international level. He was elected to two executive committees of the prestigious American Scoliosis Research Society at the World Spondylosurgical Congress in Barcelona. His election not only confirms the high professional level of Czech medicine but also ensures that he will play a key role in shaping the education and development of specialists in the treatment of spinal deformities worldwide.

The Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University has two representatives in the newly established Czech Society for Artificial Intelligence and Innovative Digital Technologies in Medicine.

In September, Evelína Voleská entered the last year of the eight-year Grammar School Česká Třebová. At the end of it, she will graduate and then, as she believes, study at university. After all, she already knows her way around the university campus in Brno-Bohunice more than well. For many months she has been researching neuropathic pain caused by chemotherapy in cooperation with the Anatomical Institute of the Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University.
