prof. MUDr. Josef Koutecký, DrSc.
Dean of the Faculty
 

1. The Faculty organized the 50th anniversary celebrations in the last year, there were 13 events, in which not only the members of the academic field took interest. All the events were well received.
    
2. The senate of the CU 2nd MF asked the SC of CU 2nd MF to make a proclamation on the performance of the ‘autological transplantation of progenotoric cells of bone marrow after acute spinal injuries’. The Dean of the Faculty presented the opinion of the scientific council, which was sent to the Chair of AS CU 2nd MF:
   1. Experimental work concerning ‘autological transplantation of progenotoric cells of bone marrow after acute spinal injuries’ is found reasonable, in the framework of scientific research.
   2. The conditions of clinical applications which have been, up to the present, carried out and which are necessary for a clinical study, were not fulfilled.
   3. The media campaign of the method preceding an objective evidence, appears to be inappropriate.
   4. The members of the scientific council ask prof. Syková to present a quotation of the already published study of the same method, which had already been applied, initiated by her, when treating patients of Motol University Hospital.

Ms. Šárka Cihelková took on the proclamation issued from the 8th meeting of the academic senate of 22. 10. 2003 and informed about students´ association activities. The association has its official name ‘Laterna Medica – Students´ Association CU 2nd MF’. The web sites are prepared and will be presented in January 2004. Discussions, educational programmes and humanitarian activities to help in refugee camps are found to be successful out of the already planned events. On the contrary cultural events are not met with a great interest – organization of faculty balls is under consideration. Laterna Medica – Students´ Association CU 2nd MF is going to hand in a grant project for the amount of 360.00,– Kc. Participation of students in the association activities appears to be rather problematic. The Association will ask the 1st year students to take part in the activities. The supervisory board consits of the members of the students´ chamber of AS, in cooperation with Michal Pelíšek, SC AS Chair.
 
Result: The senate took the information into consideration. Ms. Šárka Cibulková will give regular reports on the activities.

1. Taking on the students´ information from the 9th meeting of AS of 26. 11. 2003, the senate discussed the contents of www sites concerning ERASMUS programme. The students chamber of the senate claims a clearly arranged reference to up-to-date information. ERASMUS pages do exist, concrete claims from students will be discussed with ERASMUS programme guarantee ass. MUDr. Černý.
    
2. Following the outcomes of AS CU meeting the senate discussed the question of closing up of several students´ cafeterias. The close-up date will be set before January 2004.
   Michal Pelíšek informed the senate that the 3rd MF students have the possibility to eat in a cafeteria of University Hospital in Královské Vinohrady. The senate asks the Faculty Secretary to consider the same possibility for the faculty students to eat in the cafeteria in Motol University Hospital.
    
3. David Major informed the senate about accommodation possibilities for international students coming in IFMSA programme. Students are at present automatically accommodated in university halls Hvězda. The student chamber of the senate asks the Secretary of the faculty to consider the possibilty to accommodate international students in university halls Kajetánka.
    

• The next meeting of the academic senate is held on 18. 2. 2004 – Weds, from 2.30 p.m. in the small left lecture hall at the Faculty.
