Fifteen. That's how many CEITEC Masaryk University scientists, individually or as a research team, received the MUNI Scientist Award for outstanding research achievements under the Masaryk University Grant Agency at the agency's annual conference on 11th December, 2023.
Whether it is the winning of a prestigious grant or an award for a publication in a respected scientific journal, there is one thing all awardees have in common. They have contributed a new or innovative scientific insight, method, discovery or finding in their research field. However, there is another dimension to their success, less obvious at first glance but no less significant. The way our scientists present themselves on the international research scene strengthens the reputation of Brno science and CEITEC MUNI, which can then be reflected, for example, in greater attractiveness of Brno to foreign talent, interest of foreign partners in cooperation, better funding of scientific projects or increased awareness among editors of scientific journals.
In any case, it should be highlighted that congratulations go not only to the awardees, but also to other researchers and colleagues from the core facilities and administrative support, because we all co-create an environment at CEITEC MUNI so that our scientists can work on getting their research published in prestigious journals or turned into exclusive grants.
Thank you for the great representation and we compliment you, dear colleagues!
