Students from the Department of Informatics have once again succeeded in the Cyber Competition
As in recent years, students from our Department of Informatics took part in the first round of the National Cyber Security Competition, which our university has been supporting for the eighth year running.
The ceremonial presentation of diplomas and prizes to our students took place on November 12, 2025, at the Faculty of Science of the University of Jan Evangelista Purkyně, where the winners were congratulated by PhDr. Jaroslav Zukerstein, Ph.D., Vice-Dean for Science and Research. On behalf of the faculty, he also presented them with diplomas and small gifts.
In the evaluation of the competition in the Ústí nad Labem Region, students from the Department of Informatics Jan Kopejtko (1st place), Veronika Holubová (2nd place), and David Kluch (3rd place) placed in the university category (20 years and older). In the secondary school category (15-19 years old), Erik Čermák from the Hotel School, Business Academy, and Secondary Industrial School in Teplice won, with the next two places going to students from the Teplice Gymnasium. In the Juniors category (under 15 years of age), Michal Kratochvíl from J. Pešata Elementary School in Duchcov won, with second place going to Teplice Grammar School and third place again to J. Pešata Elementary School in Duchcov.
The awards ceremony for students in other categories in our region took place on November 11, 2025, directly at their home schools. The national finals of the competition will take place at UJEP on April 22-23, 2026, and will be accompanied by a rich accompanying program, to which we cordially invite school groups from across the region. Details of the accompanying program will be published and distributed in advance.
