Today at 9 a.m., Charles University and five other universities received a mass e-mail requesting a ransom. The Rector's Office of the UK is actively solving the matter with the Police of the Czech Republic and is proceeding according to their instructions.

Information from the rectorate of the UK: There is no imminent danger, evacuation according to the Police is not recommended. We remain in normal mode including teaching. We will send more information.

On Saturday 13 January, a record number of people interested in studying visited the Second Faculty of Medicine. Recall the atmosphere through photos.

Forbes magazine has for the second time compiled a ranking of the 50 best doctors in the Czech Republic. And once again we find a representative of the Second Faculty of Medicine. Their number has even increased compared to last year.

From 2 January 2024, classes will take place in the usual way and without restrictions...

We mourn the loss of life of our university community, express our deepest condolences to all the bereaved and our thoughts are with all those affected by the tragedy. We now ask everyone to try to remain calm and composed, and we again extend our condolences to all those whose hearts have been broken by the loss of loved ones...

Do not hesitate to seek professional crisis help in response to the shooting at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University (if you need to share the experience, in case of psychological problems such as shock, anxiety, insomnia, fears, etc.).

For safety and ethical reasons, we have therefore decided to completely cancel
classes at our faculty tomorrow, December 22, 2023 (these are lectures, seminars
and practical exercises).
