Petr Čermák from our department has been elected head of the Physical Sciences Working Group within the EOSC CZ initiative. The new mandate builds on the long-term activities of MGML and Petr Čermák’s group in the areas of open data, experiment automation, and the development of repositories for physics research.

The European Physical Society awards the Emmy Noether Distinction to outstanding women physicists working in Europe. This year, Prof. Jana Kalbáčová Vejpravová from the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, has become the first recipient from the Czech Republic. The EPS jury recognized her pioneering research in low-dimensional materials, as well as her significant role in shaping international scientific collaboration and strengthening the position of women in physics. “The Emmy Noether Distinction is among the major awards of the European Physical Society, and receiving it comes as a complete surprise to me. I deeply appreciate its international scope, and at the same time, I see it as a strong commitment not to slow down in the future. I also regard it as recognition of the long-term work of our team and all colleagues I collaborate with, both in the Czech Republic and internationally,” said the Czech physicist.
