From 4 to 6 June 2026, the Dean's board the Faculty of Pharmacy Masaryk University attended the Annual Conference of the European Association of Faculties of Pharmacy (EAFP), held at the University of Tartu in Estonia. The theme of this year’s conference was “Agile Pharmacy Curricula by Design: Ensuring a Future-Proof Pharmacy Profession,” focusing on the development of modern pharmacy study programmes that meet the current and future needs of the healthcare sector.
The conference provided a forum for European pharmaceutical faculties to exchange experiences and discuss future directions for the development of pharmaceutical education. One of the main topics was preparing graduates for an environment that is increasingly shaped by digitalization, new technologies, and the evolving needs of patients and healthcare systems.
The EAFP brings together pharmacy faculties from across Europe and supports collaboration in education, research, and the development of the pharmacy profession. The conference programme included lectures, expert discussions, and experience-sharing sessions focused on innovation in teaching, digitalization, and new competencies for pharmacists.
Participation in the conference provided an opportunity to gain an up-to-date overview of trends in pharmaceutical education and to establish or deepen cooperation with European partners.
Pharmaceutical sciences are vital for addressing worldwide health crises, and now more than ever, international partnerships within academia, governments, as well as private sectors are key to facing the challenges together. We are proud to be part of the global scientific community.
Masaryk University hosted Professor Pierre Dubois, a prominent French economist from the Toulouse School of Economics, who presented an international perspective on drug regulation and incentives for pharmaceutical innovation in his lecture. The event took place as part of the Social Sciences & Humanities Seminar Series at the Mendel Museum in Brno.
Masaryk University celebrated its annual Dies academicus, a traditional academic ceremony which honours individuals who have made significant contributions to the advancement of science, education, culture, and civil society. As part of the programme, the Rector presented Awards and MU medals, with one of the gold medals going to Professor Václav Suchý, a longtime member of the Faculty of Pharmacy.
