An international research team—including ornithologist Martin Bulla from FZP CZU—has just published a study in the Nature Ecology & Evolution journal examining the temporal links between the various phases of the annual cycle of migratory birds. By reconstructing the year-round migratory behavior of 2,324 individuals across 83 bird species, the researchers discovered a strong temporal connection throughout the migration process: from departure from breeding grounds and arrival at wintering grounds, to departure from wintering grounds and the eventual return to the breeding ones. As part of the study, the scientists compiled a unique global database of data from tracking devices. They found that while birds can compensate for some delays by traveling faster, this compensation is never complete.

Virtual reality, robotics and traditional crafts are among the attractions at the 31st edition of the Education and Crafts Fair (Vzdělání a řemeslo). Held from 5 to 7 November 2026 at the České Budějovice Exhibition Centre, the fair brings together dozens of schools and employers, including the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU), a regular participant. Visitors to the CZU stand can look forward to information about study opportunities as well as a few surprises.

Anthropogenic climate change amplified flood peaks during the September 2024 Storm Boris floods more strongly than it intensified rainfall. This is the conclusion of an international research team led by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), to which the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU) also contributed. Without climate change, event precipitation would have been around 6–9% lower, depending on the climate model, while flood peaks would have been 14–22% lower on average. The study was published in Science Advances.

The Rector of the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague is pleased to invite you to a public ceremonial meeting of the CZU Scientific Council, which will take place on 23 November 2026 at 2 p.m. in the CZU Auditorium.
