Our aim: Integrate novel concepts in teaching and academic lecturing & provide a non-formal platform for scientific discussions across fields  

   Head: Roswitha Schmickl

  • My research deciphers the origin of plant diversity. I promote inclusivity in science and open access to scientific knowledge.

   Vice-head: Jarmila Hnilicová

  • My lab focuses on bacteria and their ability to survive harsh conditions in nature. We are happy to support students and want to see them succeed.

We aim to improve the conditions for both students and teachers so they can benefit as much as possible from teaching activities at the Faculty of Science. We promote the improvement of teaching by:

  • Fostering true collaboration between teachers within and across departments
  • Supporting the implementation of advanced and meaningful pedagogic concepts
  • Sharing good teaching practice among teachers

We believe that these measures will contribute to a vibrant and sustainable education of students at the Faculty of Science, and they will also impact our way of thinking as teachers.


We also organize various events around Junior Faculty. Our events connect students and employees, with a particular focus on early and mid career researchers at our faculty. We organize annual meetings and specialized workshops dedicated to topics related to the four focal groups of Junior Faculty. Stay tuned!
