The growing popularity of the CZU Athlete of the Year poll, which the university announces every year, is also reflected in the incredible number of 55 registered athletes. All of them can boast outstanding performances, so once again the jury did not have an easy decision to make. Given his performances last year and the honour he received from the President of the Czech Republic, sprint canoeist Josef Dostál was the clear favourite. He thus repeated last year’s triumph.

Against the backdrop of a ceremonially decorated auditorium at CZU, the inauguration of the university’s new rector, Professor Michal Lošťák, took place on Tuesday, 31 March 2026. Witnessing the occasion were the rectors of nineteen Czech universities, representatives of public and private institutions, members of the university’s academic community, and other distinguished guests. The inaugural act symbolically confirmed the rector´s appointment as head of CZU – a university with growing potential in fields of science connected to the challenges of the future.
