While the CZU auditorium hall came alive with Christmas workshops on Wednesday, December 3, and people interested in donating bone marrow came here, the academic community was meeting inside. The CZU Academic Senate symbolically convened the annual meeting for the first week of Advent, a time of hope and expectation.

The last six months have brought a wealth of news in the field of scientific research and campus life, many of which are recorded in the new issue of the Živá univerzita newsletter.

Christmas decorations, Advent wreaths, candlesticks, mistletoe, and a variety of goodies will be offered at the Christmas markets at CZU again this year. They start tomorrow, Tuesday, December 2nd, in the area in front of the auditorium. In the first week of Advent, there will also be space in the auditorium for those interested in registering as bone marrow donors or for donations to the National Food Collection.

The World Day of Generosity and Good Deeds, also known as Giving Tuesday, which falls on December 2nd this year, will continue at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague with “Giving Wednesday”. On Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025, a recruitment event for bone marrow donors will take place in the auditorium.
