What does your ideal morning look like?
Slow and easy. Green tea, yoga, and when I wake up, a good breakfast. And then off to nature for a trip or at least to the garden.
Can you recommend a good café or lunch place in Brno to our colleagues?
How many characters do I have? I would have plenty… For food, definitely Vietnamese Domovina or its sister Little Saigon, Bücheck, vegan Pilgrim and Forky's, Blue Demon Bistro near the faculty, Betlém in Černá Pole, Speranza for pizza...
For coffee/dessert, Park Lane Cafe and Anoda at the Lužánky park, Kafec, Dezertina, Ad Alta (vegetarian and vegan desserts and great cakes, also for private celebrations).
What has surprised you the most in the last six months?
How things can change from one day to the next and everything can suddenly be different, fortunately also for the better.
What do you look forward to the most during your working day?
For nice meetings and the feeling when I check all the boxes of everything I had planned for that day on my calendar.
What's your favorite place at the faculty?
The Atrium always makes me happy.
What's your most productive hour at work?
Ten in the morning, after breakfast. I even sing to myself sometimes at that time.
What book have you read recently?
"The Wisdom of Insecurity" by Alan Watts. And now I am reading "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art" by James Nestor. I regularly share my new knowledge with my surroundings.
Read the latest installment of our series introducing colleagues from various departments across the faculty. In each edition, one colleague answers the same set of seven questions. This time, we spoke with Roman Bureš, the new Head of the Office for International Relations.
The three-year project, Hopeful and Resilient Perspectives in Climate Change Education to Inspire (Promote) Action Competence (HARP), aims to examine and improve climate education practices in selected European countries. Its goal is to promote more comprehensive, inclusive, and action-oriented approaches to addressing the climate crisis.
