MA student Eliška Mádrová received the Dean’s Award for Outstanding Master's Students – among other achievements, for her original radio documentary The Five Stages of Grief, which won third place at the Prix Bohemia Radio festival.

@lenkawc.bsky.social received the Dean’s Award for Research – recognized, among other things, for transforming the previously marginalized topic of local journalism into a vibrant and trending field (not just) in Czech academia.

@marinaurbanikova.bsky.social received the Ivo Možný Award for Societal Contribution – for actively bringing insights from her research on public service media and the position of women in journalism into public debate.

🏅 Two of our researchers and two of our students received awards – a big round of applause for all of them!

🎉 It's FSS MUNI Day – and that means it's also time for the Dean's Awards at the Faculty of Social Studies! And wow, what a harvest this year for our department!
