Welcome!
Blended intensive programmes are one of the new Erasmus+ features that were introduced in 2021. The programmes combine virtual and physical mobility, enabling students and staff to develop new educational activities including digital skills improvement. The most active faculty in the BIP coordination is the Faculty of Arts, which has already organised four BIPs.
The faculty has responded to repeating suggestions from the academic community and has introduced three new pieces of equipment in faculty buildings. A new microwave is located on the second floor of the main building and a drinking fountain is on the ground floor. A ping pong table is located on the ground floor of the Sporck Palace.
The lecture “Translation Mining and Semantic Maps: A New Approach to Cross-Linguistic Research” will be held at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, in room P104 on 2 April 2025 from 2:10 pm. Hands-on workshops will take place on Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th (9:00 am – 12:00 noon), P104 at CU FA.
A joint ball with the title “To Infinity and Beyond” will take place on 20 March 2025 at 7:00 pm at Forum Karlín. The event is intended not only for students, graduates, and teachers of both faculties but also to the public.
The Vice-Rector for International Affairs of Charles University has been awarded the French title of Knight of the National Order of Merit. She received it on 6 March from His Excellency Stéphane Crouzat, Ambassador of France to the Czech Republic.
The international conference is co-organised by European Society for Research on the Education of Adults (ESREA). It will be held on 24–27 September 2025 at the main building of CU FA. You may submit abstracts of your papers by 28 February 2025.
“Academics of the 20th century were celebrities. The current system, unfortunately, prefers more of the same: the same way of working and the same type of results. We should be inspired by them and encourage originality and finding one's own way, because it leads to knowledge and great ideas,” says Libuše Heczková from the Faculty of Arts, Charles University.
If you want to share the joy of music and perform works by famous and lesser-known composers under professional guidance, do not hesitate to join the Charles University Choir and Orchestra. Rehearsals for the new semester begin on 19 and 26 February 2025 at 7:30 pm in Charvát Hall (U Nemocnice 1, Prague 2).
Dr. Jacob F. Tischer, the new “Global Taiwan Chair” at CU FA, will focus on one of the nodal points of the contemporary world in his course in the summer semester 2024/25. He will introduce students to the historical roots of Taiwanese politics in the context of popular culture and everyday life. The language of instruction is English.
