Are you a closet writer or have you always wanted to write something, but never got there? The MUNI Literary Challenge MUNI is an ideal opportunity for any student, employee or graduate of Masaryk University to participate. The topic is science, there are no limits to the form - it can be a story, a fairy tale or even a comic.
The only condition is to keep the range of 1-10 pages. In the future, the stories could be published in books, and the intention is also to present them at the science and popularization events MjUNI and The Researchers' Night. You can send your texts to literarnivyzva@rect.muni.cz by September 30, 2021.
After a year spent abroad at The University of Texas at San Antonio, our colleague Martin Husák from the cybersecurity team CSIRT-MU returned to us. He was able to complete his postdoc internship in a research group in the USA thanks to a grant to support the mobility of promising researchers. What exactly does he focus on in his research? And why does he think Brno is the best city in the world?
In an interview with Vice-Rector Radim Polčák, we discussed changes in IT at Masaryk University. We discussed how the university is adapting to new needs and how it manages funding and maintaining a high level of IT services. We also touched on the Vice-Rector's view on the importance of the adaptation of the Institute of Computing to the University's strategic plan and the role of IT during crisis situations such as the recent covid-19 pandemic. We also discussed future plans, including the relocation of the Institute of Computer Science and its involvement in research activities and projects such as EOSC.
