Finalist Falling Walls Lab Czech
4. March 2022PhDr. Lenka Venterová, Ph.D., from the Institute of Educational Sciences, achieved great success in the prestigious international competition Falling Walls Lab Czech Republic, advancing to the final selection of the 15 best topics.
Although she did not win the final round or proceed to the global competition in Berlin, it is a significant achievement that her topic, Breaking the Wall of Virtual Reality in Teacher’s Education – reflecting her involvement with a non-profit organisation where she gathers data for further research at FHS – was the only humanities-focused topic to reach the finals. Dr. Venterová competed against researchers from CTU in Prague and BUT in Brno, who formed the majority of participants. Falling Walls is a prestigious competition for students, young scientists, innovators, and aspiring entrepreneurs. Its aim is to connect promising scientists and entrepreneurs globally, showcasing exceptional ideas and unique projects from all areas of science that literally break down walls and barriers. Participants present their projects to an audience and expert jury in a three-minute presentation in English, with the goal of convincing the jury of the significance of their research, business plan, or civic initiative.
