Dear students,

It's the last newsletter of not only this holiday season, but also of the 2023/2024 academic year. That means it's time to take a look at the schedule for the next academic year (in Czech) and jot down important dates so you don't miss anything. Where to? Perhaps in the university academic diary (in Czech), which you can already buy at UPoint.

WHAT’S GOING ON AT UP

Briefly from the UP management meeting

At the management meetings (31 July and 7 August), new projects of the OP JAK or the new position of the counter-influence security officer were discussed. The Fischer lecture will be given by economist Tomáš Sedláček in November. Read the full summary (after logging in the UP Portal), we will prepare another one in 14 days. More detailed information will subsequently be available in the minutes of the management meeting in UPShare, as well as in the minutes of other bodies, in UP standards and documents and on other information platforms.

Join the Orientation Days team of coaches and trainers

You will be in charge of your own group of people who will get to know each other through games and activities with your help. You will make contacts with current UP students, members of other clubs, UP staff and partners. In addition to work, you will also have fun. Before the actual event starts, we have prepared a program called Pre-OD, during which you will participate in educational activities, workshops, sports activities and an evening program at a local venue.

Feel free to fill out the registration form! (in Czech) Still not sure? Find out more on the website (in Czech). AIESEC, which organises the event, is the largest student-run international organisation in the world, also focusing on international internships and leadership development.
