New Shading Pergola Installed on the D29 Terrace
Dear colleagues,
The Operations Department would like to inform you that a new shading pergola has been installed on the terrace on the 4th floor of Pavilion D29, replacing the previously unsuitable shade sail.
Thanks to this improvement, the terrace is now a suitable place for lunch breaks even on sunny days. Given the Wi-Fi coverage, it is also a great spot for small work meetings or informal gatherings.
The pergola operates in autonomous mode, but can also be manually controlled using remote controls. We are currently in a testing phase, during which we are monitoring its behavior in various weather conditions.
If you have any comments or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Operations Department.

Other news
The new project “Flame retardants – an overlooked chemical exposure risk on ships”, led by PI Lisa Emily Melymuk, Ph.D., started on May 1st, 2025, with funding from the Swedish Mercantile Marine Foundation. It addresses the health risks posed by flame retardants in ships’ indoor environments. The project will assess exposure levels on Swedish ships and propose a methodology for risk reduction through informed selection of marine materials.
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – Postdoctoral Fellowships (MSCA-PF) 2025
Are you looking for funding for your postdoctoral stay? Or are you looking for a new postdoc for your research group? One of the Horizon Europe programmes – Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions – offers prestigious Postdoctoral Fellowships. The Postdoctoral Fellowships target researchers holding a PhD (maximum 8 years after obtaining PhD degree) who wish to carry out their research activities abroad, acquire new skills, gain experience in other countries, disciplines and non-academic sectors, and develop their careers. Researchers can apply for European Fellowships (12-24 months, to come to Europe or move within) or Global Fellowships (12-24 months in a third country + 12 months mandatory return phase in Europe). If you apply with MUNI (check if you comply with the mobility rule at the official MSCA-PF website), there are two other options for alternative funding of your research - ERA Fellowships and Operational Programme Johannes Amos Comenius managed by the Czech Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. For further information or if you plan to apply for MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship, contact Veronika Jálová ASAP.
Call for MSCA-PF is expected to open on 8 May 2025 with the deadline for submission of proposals on 10 September 2025.
Support for MSCA-PF applicants:
1) RECETOX Grant Office (Veronika Jálová)
- Explanation of MSCA-PF conditions and how it works
- Providing information about the call, preparation and submission of the proposal
