The 5th International Multidisciplinary Conference for Young Researchers (MCYR) 2024 conference, held at the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU), gathered young researchers worldwide for an engaging and collaborative exploration into Resilience in the Face of Global Challenges (this year’s theme). Organized by the BRT, MCYR 2024 created an inclusive environment where attendees could share research findings, exchange ideas, and build networks that cross disciplinary boundaries, reflecting the need for unified action in today’s globalized world.
Insights and Inspiration
As a multidisciplinary event, MCYR 2024 welcomed participants from diverse fields, sparking discussions that transcended individual research domains. Keynote speaker Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hynek Roubik highlighted the significance of this year’s theme: "In a globalized world, challenges must be tackled through interdisciplinary collaboration. MCYR provides a space for young researchers to engage, share, and find solutions together." This year’s emphasis on resilience allowed participants to discuss pressing issues and brainstorm solutions that span multiple perspectives. The event’s format encouraged young scientists to dive deeper into new topics, from life sciences to environmental sustainability, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas where curiosity serves as a key to new ideas.
Networking and Skill-Building
Attendees were equally enthusiastic about the networking opportunities MCYR provided. Young researchers had the chance to discuss career insights with peers and mentors. The conference offered a supportive environment to develop skills in presenting and discussing their topics.
In addition to academic learning, MCYR was an invaluable platform for international networking. Participants were able to connect with peers from more than 20 countries. Young researchers shared their impressions, noting that they appreciated the opportunity to present their findings and engage in rich discussions with experts from around the globe.
Looking Ahead
As MCYR 2024 wrapped up, participants expressed enthusiasm for next year’s event. The conference provided valuable opportunities for collaboration, idea exchange, and skill-building, making it a practical support for early-career researchers.
The MCYR organizing committee invites all young scientists to join us in 2025 to experience the vibrant exchanges, the rich interdisciplinary atmosphere, and the beauty of Prague.
