Autumn 2020

 

""

 

Dear Charles University Alumni and Alumnae,

You are reading the autumn issue of the Alumni Newsletter. We all have experienced many difficulties this year: from the spring outbreak of the corona virus to the second epidemic wave this autumn. Despite the restrictions in the Czech Republic that have an impact on our professional, social, and cultural activities, we would like to encourage you to change your routines and try something new. Refresh your mind and choose from our offer below – you can participate in Petr Ludwig´s webinar on Happiness and Mindset, learn the latest science news at the Researcher´s Night, or simply use some of our culture and lifestyle tips.

Enjoy our Autumn Newsletter and take care of yourself.

As Václav Havel said: Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

On behalf of your CU Alumni Club,

Bohu and Mariana
