In cooperation with the National Museum of Agriculture in Prague and the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, the Ministry of Agriculture is organising the 11th edition of the educational competition Discovering the Secrets of Food – Do You Know What You Eat? for families with children and school groups. The event will take place on 2 and 3 October 2026 at the National Museum of Agriculture in Prague.

The ambitious DRIFT-FOOD project, which has been running at the Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources since 1 October 2020 under the European Horizon 2020 ERA Chairs programme, is coming to an end. It aimed to build and strengthen the Faculty’s long-term research capacity in food technology. This goal has been achieved: an interdisciplinary centre of excellence has been established at CZU, the University’s scientific and educational capacities have been strengthened, and modern food technologies have been made more accessible to industry and other stakeholders. The DRIFT-FOOD Research Centre was established at the Faculty. Although the project had to cope with several personnel changes, a stable international team has been formed whose activities will continue well beyond the project´s end.

The European Commission has decided to award the EuroLeague of Life Sciences Universities (ELLS Universities) funding of approximately €7.2M in the next two years under the European Universities Initiative. For the alliance, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, this marks the beginning of a new chapter.

On Monday, 15 June 2026, six recent graduates of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague received the Minister of Agriculture Award. The award is presented annually to the best student from each faculty for a master’s thesis with an exceptional contribution to practice in the fields of agriculture, forestry, food production and rural development. The award also includes a financial prize determined by the Ministry. The award ceremony traditionally takes place during the summer graduation ceremonies of the individual faculties.

On 28–29 May 2026, the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague hosted the international workshop, 24th International Workshop for Young Scientists – BioPhys Spring 2026. This conference is held annually and is co-organized by the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, the Polish Institute of Agrophysics PAS in Lublin, the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and the Institut Teknologi Nasional in Bandung, Indonesia.

Every year in mid-June, the CZU campus becomes a place where alumni of several generations recall their student years during ceremonial graduation events. In the afternoon, everyone with a connection to the university comes together to enjoy the Garden Party. This event is a symbolic gateway to summer. This year, it will take place on Saturday, 13 June.
