From 1 April 2023, information security at the Faculty of Science is regulated by the new Dean's Directive No.1/2023 Information Security Policy. The document regulates access to data, software and hardware of the faculty as an employer. Let's look further at what all is related to the new directive.
From April 1, 2023, information security at the Faculty of Science regulated by the Dean's new directive No. 1/2023 Information Security Policy, issued in the same way as all official documents of the MU Faculty of Science in both Czech and English versions. The document follows the MU directive No. 10/2017 Use of information technologies and establishes and describes rules governing data management from the perspective of the faculty as an employer. The practical application of the rules is ensured by the Department of Information and Communication Technologies of the Faculty of Science of MU (OIKT) in cooperation with the ICT administrators of individual departments and workplaces.
The directive is effective as of April 1, 2023, however its full faculty compliance is expected till the end of year 2023.
The directive was created in cooperation with the Department of Information and Communication Technologies, the faculty lawyer, a working group composed of representatives of all departments and the HR Award Office.

A team of botanists has revealed significant changes in the distribution of species in the Czech flora. Their study, published in the international scientific journal Biological Conservation, analyzed the decline and increase of individual plant species in the Czech Republic since 1960.
In March, meetings were held between faculty representatives and students who are members of the programme councils. Why are they essential for addressing feedback from the course opinion poll? We asked Vice-Dean Markéta Munzarová.
