12 Apr17 Apr UPCON 2026 The Fifth International UPCON Conference, focused on the preparation, properties, and applications of upconversion nanomaterials (UPCON 2026), will take place on April 12–17, 2026, at the Hotel Continental in Brno. from 6:00 PM to 1:00 PM
16 Apr Lectins and lectoms for deciphering the glycocode (INNOLEC | MUNI SCI) Anne Imberty from 2:00 PM
16 Apr Botanical seminar: František Zedek: Stability, change, and genetic variability in plants: evolutionary context How do plants maintain stability while constantly changing? This lecture will show how genetic variability arises through recombination and how it can be surprisingly well estimated from chromosome size—even in species we know almost nothing about. Based on the latest research, it will offer a new perspective on plant evolution and their ability to adapt to a changing world. from 4:00 PM
16 Apr Mining the Code of Life for New Antibiotics (Seminar Series) CÉSAR DE LA FUENTE Lecture will be held in English from 4:00 PM
18 Apr Earth Day for children and adults on the theme The Sweet Treasure, general admission: 100 CZK, children under 6 free from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
22 Apr The evening about physics and life with Tomáš Tyc In-Life, a student organization, invites you to an informal evening at the Moravian Library with Professor of Theoretical Physics Tomáš Tyc. You can look forward to a physics show as well as a discussion about physics and various aspects of a scientist’s life—career, family, and reflections on the meaning of life and faith in God. During the evening, you’ll be able to ask questions via Slido, so feel free to start thinking of them in advance, or just come and listen. The event is intended for university students. from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
23 Apr Botanical seminar: Impacts of observation error on estimates of vegetation dynamics and biodiversity change This presentation examines how observation error affects estimates of vegetation dynamics and biodiversity change using repeated survey data from grassland ecosystems across Central Europe. By integrating multi-site datasets with modeling approaches such as particle-based filtering, it quantifies observation uncertainty and improves estimates of key ecological processes, including species persistence and extinction dynamics. The results highlight the importance of accounting for observation error to obtain more reliable assessments of community change and ecosystem resilience. from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
