Under the guidance of Dr. Stanislav Popelka, our students achieve outstanding results. Our CDE Joint Master Degree student, Ruchira, triumphed at the Dean’s Award by winning the Master’s section and becoming the overall winner in Earth Sciences. Congratulations on this remarkable achievement!
Our department regularly participates in the Researcher Program for talented high school students. This year, Julie Dorušáková from Uničov Gymnasium participated, evaluating electoral maps using eye-tracking devices under the guidance of Dr. Stanislav Popelka. ️

With her SOČ, she competed in both district and regional rounds, winning first place in both. At the end of June, she will participate in the national finals in Pardubice. We wish her the best of luck!
