We achieve great results in science and teaching

Dear students,

Did you know three projects from the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University won the prestigious MUNI Innovation Award 2023 at the end of April? In addition to a proofreader of Czech written texts or a unique application for teaching Czech, the jury awarded a project focused on interactive mediation of cultural heritage. However, the British PrestoMusic Awards should not be overlooked, as the book about the life and work of composer Leoš Janáček was awarded the British PrestoMusic Award.
