On 21 May, the Academic Senate of the CTU approved the proposal to dismiss Vojtěch Petráček from the post of Rector of the university. At the proposal of the Senate, President Petr Pavel decided to dismiss Petráček on 30 May. The dismissal must still be signed by Prime Minister Petr Fiala.

In May, the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) hosted a meeting related to the ongoing project “Joint Cooperative Research Focused on the Transfer of Technological Knowledge and Qualification of Accident-Tolerant Fuel for New Nuclear Power Plants,” which aims to enhance the readiness of the Czech nuclear sector for the Korean APR reactor technology.

An extraordinary session of the Academic Senate of CTU was held on Wednesday afternoon, 21 May, with a single item on the agenda: a motion to dismiss Rector Vojtěch Petráček from his position, submitted on Tuesday 13 May by Senator Jiří Vokřínek. Rector Vojtěch Petráček is leading the CTU in his second term of office, which was due to end in January 2026, eight months from now.

Traditionally, the Rector's Sports Day is held in mid-May. This year the weather was really favourable to the last bit, it did not rain, nor was it unbearably hot. Thus, nothing prevented sports outdoors or indoors and the participation of students and staff in the Institute of Physical Education and Sport exceeded 1000 athletes in various sports disciplines.

At the Masaryk Institute of Advanced Studies of CTU, a creative team of educators is starting the initial phase of work on the continuation of last year's grant Strengthening Capacity and Knowledge Transfer at Higher Education Institutions for the Development of Affected Areas of Ukraine. The project is implemented with financial support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic under the CzechAid foreign development cooperation programme.
