Student organizations
Student organizations are an integral part of the Faculty of Science of Palacký University. They are involved in study, cultural, sports and social life, cooperate with students, academics and faculty management. They promote the natural sciences and especially the study offer at the faculty. Any student of the faculty who wants to help with these activities or comes up with new ideas can be accepted into the organization. It can be either volunteering, or it is possible to apply for support for a specific event organized by the association at this address. The Department for External and Internal Relations can not only provide financial or material support for the event, but also cooperates in the field of promotion or by providing rooms for planned activities.
An overview of all student organizations at the Palacký University can be found on this website.

Sustainable Palacký
Sustainable Palacký club was founded from the initiative of students of Environmental Studies and Sustainable Development from the Department of Development & Environmental Studies. Its main objective is to strengthen social responsibility and promote environmentally friendly behavior. It provides an opportunity for students from across the university to use their knowledge gained in classes in practice and to engage in a number of projects. We always try to take into account all the aspects of sustainable development: economic, environmental, social and institutional. We have come to realize that we do not have to wait until the end of our studies to change things around us. Exactly the opposite. There will never be a better time than now.

Geographical club of the Faculty of Science UP EGEA
It brings together a group of students from departments of Geography, Geoinformatics, Development & Environmental Studies, who can pass on and develop their knowledge and experience of these different yet intertwined Earth sciences. They organize various events not only in our locality but also thanks to the connections with other geographic associations all over Europe. This geographic network is the organizer of congresses, scientific seminars and thematic events that are based on the principle of sharing among students. Another good way to get in touch with geography students from other countries and to broaden your horizons is through exchanges that allow members of the association to host foreign students of selected destination as well as offer our young geographers to visit students abroad. This exchange is a unique opportunity to learn about geography of a specific region in a foreign country.
Physics Club
Physics Club was created as a place for everyone who likes physics. Our goal is to build a community of young and enthusiastic people who can share not only their troubles and worries, but also hobbies and ideas. We organize physics quizzes, presentations on various topics, funny workshops, discussions or games. The club is a place for students who are interested in fulfilling themselves and bringing something new to others. We try to help each other with student responsibilities and pass on valuable advice and experience. Do not hesitate and come and meet and have fun with us!
