We’re excited to share key moments and milestones from the first half of 2025 at the BioResources and Technology (BRT) Division. This edition captures the energy, innovation, and collaboration that continue to define our work in sustainable development.

So far this year, BRT has contributed to international projects with activities spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. We’ve hosted public outreach events, welcomed interns from around the world, shared our research at global conferences, and more. Our members have also taken on new leadership roles and launched new collaborations, strengthening BRT’s impact both locally and globally.

BRT Director Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hynek Roubík, Dean of the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences (FTZ) at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU), has recently returned from a successful academic mobility to Bhutan. The visit was supported by the prestigious Erasmus+ KA171 programme, which promotes international collaboration and capacity building between European and non-European higher education institutions.

Hosted by the College of Science and Technology (CST) and its president Dr. Tshewang Lhendup, and the College of Natural Resources (CNR) under the Royal University of Bhutan, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Roubík engaged in an intensive academic exchange focusing on sustainable agriculture, bioresource utilization, and rural development. The mobility included expert lectures, curriculum consultations, and strategic discussions aimed at building long-term partnerships between CZU and Bhutanese institutions.
