Pavel Buchta

Chairman of SIMS (1st year, Balkan and Central European Studies)

Hi! My name is Pavel, I am 24 years old and I am a first-year student in the Balkan and Central European Studies master's program. When it comes to my studies, I enjoy anything related to the Western Balkans (especially Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Eastern Europe. Besides studying, I really enjoy cooking, traveling, and playing board games. I also enjoy one of my two jobs, which I consider a success (?). I like meeting new people, whether from Czechia or abroad, preferably over a beer in a nice, hidden pub with table football. This is my fourth year at SIMS, and this year I am its president. I enjoy organizing and participating in social and academic events (Balkan debates, wink wink) and cooperating with other student associations the most. Besides that, I am naturally interested in everything that happens in SIMS – if I weren't, I wouldn't be a very good president, would I? Whenever you need anything, don't hesitate to contact me, I'm always happy to help! #IMSPROUD

Markéta Frýzková

Vice-Chairman of SIMS with delegated authority for the social events section (1st year, European Studies)

Hi, my name is Markéta, but most people know me as Majky! I’m a master's student studying Territorial Studies with a focus on European Studies, and this is my third year at SIMS. I am a passionate fan of sports, traveling, my dog, and especially my beloved Prague. I enjoy spending time with people, connecting groups, and organizing things. That is why I like to organize social events at SIMS! 

Klára Pösingerová

Vice-Chairman of SIMS with delegated authority for the academic affairs section (2nd year, Area Studies)

Hi! My name is Klára and I’m a second-year Area Studies student at the Faculty of Social Sciences. Besides the fact that you can often run into me at the Jinonice library, where I work part-time, I’m also a first-year member of SIMS and currently serve as the Vice-President for Academic Affairs.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to political podcasts, traveling, and - perhaps a bit too often - going to the cinema and the theater. Of course, my favorite thing to do is attend SIMS events, whether they are debates, lectures, or trips. I hope to see you all during the summer semester, maybe on our nature getaway or the canoeing trip!

Lenka Dančová

Vice-Chairman of SIMS with delegated authority for the PR section (1st year, European Studies)

Hi, my name is Lenka and I am currently in the first year of the Master's programme in Territorial Studies with a specialization in European Studies at FSV. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Bratislava at Comenius University in European Studies and International Relations. This is my first year in SIMS and I currently serve as the Vice-Chair for PR. In my free time, I enjoy doing sports, reading, spending time with friends, and especially attending SIMS events – where I hope we’ll meet!

Jakub Jiří Ferda

Vice-Chairman of SIMS for HR (2nd year, Area Studies)

Hello! I am Jakub (Jiri) and it is my first year on the faculty as well as in SIMS. In SIMS I am currently serving as the Vice President for Human Resources and occasionally help out with Academic Affairs. Should you have any questions regarding SIMS, be not afraid to contact the HR. I am interested in our eastern neighbours, enjoy producing and composing music, and creative writing. See you at one of our events!

Dita Krutilová

Vice-Chairman of SIMS with delegated authority for the section for interunions’ communication and internationalisation (2nd year, Area Studies)

Hi! I'm Dita, I'm in my second year of Area Studies and this is my second year at SIMS. This year, I will also serve as vice-chair of our newly formed section for inter-association communication and internationalization. So we can definitely meet at social or academic events, and not just with foreign students! In my free time, I like to read books, play sports, build with Lego, or discover new things and places. I like to talk and I talk a lot, and I love meeting new people and listening to their stories, so don't be afraid to come and chat or ask for advice! 

Jiří Hrešan

Treasurer (2nd year, Area Studies)

Jiří is the name of me, and this is my resumé. I'm in my first year of area studies. While studying I like to focus on Czechoslovakia (proud Czechoslovak here) but I'll happily learn also about the whole Europe or Asia. In SIMS I'm mostly because I want to be proactive, I want to be in the middle of the action and I want to grow. So what can you expect from me? What kind of events do I want to take a part in? Well, I love games, both video games and tabletop games. I'm a big fan of somewhat more serious culture like theater and art galleries. But I'll gladly participate in some passionate discussion while having something good to drink. And that's why I'm a member of a social events section, academic affairs section as well as section for interclub communication and internationalisation. Yeah, and this year I have taken up the role of the treasurer so I am the one you will go to once we owe you something and the one who will haunt you when you owe us something.
