One of the largest student open-air festivals in the Czech Republic, Miss Agro, is just around the corner. In addition to its traditional combination of great music, female beauty, and masculine strength, this year the CZU campus in Suchdol will take a significant step towards sustainability. The main organizer is the university newspaper iZUN.eu, which is preparing the event in cooperation with the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, all its faculties, and other university units. This year, together, they are introducing a system of returnable deposit cups, which will eliminate single-use plastics at all sales points.

The four best university basketball teams from across the country – the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Masaryk University, Jan Evangelista Purkyně University, and the University of Ostrava –  battled for gold in the North Moravian metropolis.

The growing popularity of the CZU Athlete of the Year poll, which the university announces every year, is also reflected in the incredible number of 55 registered athletes. All of them can boast outstanding performances, so once again the jury did not have an easy decision to make. Given his performances last year and the honour he received from the President of the Czech Republic, sprint canoeist Josef Dostál was the clear favourite. He thus repeated last year’s triumph.

The international QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026 confirms that the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU) belongs among the global leaders in fields related to nature and sustainability. In Agriculture & Forestry, it ranked 58th in the world, the best result among all Czech universities in this year’s evaluation. It is also the Czech leader in Environmental Sciences.
