Thanks to the favourable epidemiological situation, on 6–8 October 2021, the jubilee fifth annual joint meeting of students participating in two SVV programmes (Specific university research, no. SVV 260 369 and SVV 260 521) took place in Krkonoše. The two-day block of presentations started again with a guest lecture, which was held this time by RNDr. Kristýna Pimková, Ph.D. from BIOCEV.
