Research Breakfasts
In June 2022, the Grant Office and the Office for Research of FM MU, began organizing so-called "Grant Breakfasts". In addition to good refreshments and informal meetings, these events focused on topics related to grants. These monthly meetings initiated a pleasant tradition and in 2024 evolved into larger "Research Breakfasts". Each month, a different scientist is invited to discuss various topics, whether scientific or career-related, with moderator and Vice-Dean Tomáš Kašpárek.
