On Tuesday, 9 April, a festive meeting commemorating the 676th anniversary of the founding of Charles University took place in the Great Hall of the historic Carolinum building. On this occasion, the Miloslav Petrusek Prize for Presentation and Promotion and the Bedřich Hrozný Prize for Creative Achievement were awarded.

Miloslav Petrusek Prize for Presentation and Promotion is awarded for a positive achievement that has a significant impact on creating the image of Charles University in the perception of the general public.
