During three ceremonial events, the university leadership welcomed new PhD graduates and associate professors, who symbolically confirmed their efforts and completed an important stage of their professional and academic careers by taking the academic oath and receiving their diplomas or appointment decrees. Their achievements are the result of years of research, teaching activities, and countless hours spent in laboratories, workshops, and studios.

The eleven new associate professors, appointed by the Rector of BUT based on nominations submitted by the deans, were introduced during the ceremony by members of the leadership of the respective faculties. The appointees present subsequently received their appointment decrees, officially entitling them to use the title of Associate Professor.

During the ceremony, Rector Ladislav Janíček emphasized above all the quality of education, research and creative activities. “Today, you officially become associate professors – senior academic staff and moral authorities whom students will not only look up to as role models, but from whom they will also expect a great deal. Therefore, do not forget that the primary mission of a university is to educate. It is in our students that the successors on whom our future will depend are growing, and the quality of their education will determine the competitiveness and prosperity of our country,” he said.
