As every year, we're holding our physics photography competition, open to anyone who wants to capture the world. The competition is open in two categories, and the best photos will be awarded at a ceremony in autumn 2026.
On Friday, November 7, during the Open Days at FZU, the winners of the FZU photo competition were announced and received their awards from FZU Director Michael Prouza. In the employee category, first place went to a photograph byintern Lucie Krejčová entitled Crack. The student category was dominated by Adam Lorenc, a second-year student at Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, whose photographs of crystalline silicon carbide took first and second place.
