Brno, the second-largest city in the Czech Republic, has long been a center of education, innovation, and cultural life. Known for its rich history, lively student atmosphere, and scientific contributions, it offers a unique blend of tradition and progress. Masaryk University, founded in 1919 and named after the first president of Czechoslovakia, has played a vital role in shaping the city’s identity and academic landscape.
In this lecture, I will guide you through the historical evolution of both the city and the university, with a special focus on the Faculty of Sports Studies and the development of psychology as a field within Masaryk University. From the early days of nation-building to today’s interdisciplinary research and international collaboration, we will explore how these institutions grow and adapt, and how they shape the students and researchers they host. The session offers both personal insight and professional context, encouraging further exchange and cooperation.
