The popular BUT Junior educational programme offers the youngest scientists a unique opportunity to dive into the world of research and exploration. Before the actual teaching, they received their matriculation certificates in the auditorium of the Rectorate of Brno University of Technology and thus started their junior scientific career.

The ceremony was led by Vice-Rectors Vlasta Sedláková and Milan Houser. "Our junior university opens the door to the fascinating world of science, technology and art. During this programme,you will have the chance to meet leading experts and academics who are masters in their fields, ready to inspire you and share their knowledge. You will have the opportunity not only to get a glimpse of the university environment, but also to meet new friends, have a lot of fun and learn through interactive and hands-on experiences," said Vice-Rector Sedláková in her speech.
