MUNI DAY 2023: DISCOVER THE UNIVERSITY
The motto of MUNI Day is not only sport and fun but also networking and discovering. Whether it is getting to know each other or university departments. To this end, colleagues from the Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Sports Studies and Faculty of Science have prepared thematic tours where boredom is not an option!
SIMU Simulation Centre
The Simulation Centre is a place where it is not a sin to make a mistake, but it would be a sin not to learn from it. The five-storey building with a training hospital is the most modern simulation centre in Central Europe and offers a realistic hospital environment for training future doctors. A full range of simulation medicine methods is available to students in SIMU, from virtual patients to manual skills trainers, to advanced patient simulators. A birth simulator, an artificial lung ventilation simulator, simulators for future dentists... You can experience it all!
Laboratory of Physiotherapy at Faculty of Sport Studies
The Faculty of Sports Studies will open a physiotherapy laboratory for those interested, where it will be possible under the supervision of Mgr. Zuzana Kršáková from the Department of Physical Activities and Health Sciences to have the condition of their musculoskeletal system checked. The laboratory commonly deals with post-injury and painful musculoskeletal conditions, optimization of sports performance, scar treatment or fascial treatment. To top it all off, the lab is richly instrumented!
Department of Experimental Biology at Faculty of Science
Selected departments of the Institute of Experimental Biology invite you to their laboratories.
The Section of Microbiology (Building E25) deals with a wide range of microbiological areas - from food to biodegradation of waste. As part of MUNI Day, you can not only see the work of the laboratory, but also try it out hands-on. These activities will include observing the growth of microorganisms from the environment around us or creating stained and native slides. An undeniable attraction is the opportunity to try your hand at creating a picture using the so-called agar art method, or microbial art, where artworks are created by culturing microorganisms - in short, you will have the chance to try being Alexander Flemming and Pablo Picasso at the same time!
In the Department of Animal Physiology and Immunology (Building D36), you will discover what animal models scientists use to study physiology and biology, what tools they use to study insect immunity, and how synchronously beating cells are created. You're invited to give scientists a peek over their shoulders, into microscopes, thermostats and aquariums. And the brave ones can have their picture taken with stick insects or cockroaches, for example.
