What does meaningful collaboration between universities, schools, and communities actually look like in practice—and why is it so hard to achieve?

Join us for a guest lecture by doc. PhDr. Lenka Krejčová, Ph.D., an educational psychologist specializing in cognitive science, assessment, and inclusive education.

Lenka Krejčová, Ph.D. is a Czech educational psychologist and former Associate Professor at Charles University. She is co-founder of the Poznávání Laboratory School and director of DYS-centrum Prague, where she focuses on assessment, counseling, and support for learners with diverse needs.

Dr. Krejčová will introduce the concept of laboratory schools—innovative environments where research, teacher education, and classroom practice intersect, enabling the direct application of cognitive science in real educational settings.

The lecture will explore how these “living laboratories” support collaboration between universities and schools, contribute to the professional development of students and future educators, and bring research into everyday teaching practice.

The session will also highlight AAU’s developing partnership with the , creating new opportunities for student internships, research collaboration, and academic exchange—especially for students in the Psychology program.

Come explore how research-driven education can shape the future of learning, and what that future might look like at AAU.

Each month, come to Café Des Taxis to have a drink and discussion with professors and other experts about important events happening in the world. Share your questions and your views, and join the long tradition of politics in the pub.

Historians examine the concept of fascism as a political ideology and social phenomenon. Yet, fascism is one of the most frequently used––and most misunderstood––political terms today. What do historians actually mean when they use the concept of fascism? Why has it been so difficult to define? What ideological ideas and myths stood at the core of fascist movements? How did fascist propaganda work, and why was it so appealing to so many people in the 20th century? Come discuss these questions and ask your own.

The lead professor will be Jakub Drabik, AAU History Lecturer.

You are invited to a conference, organized by the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, that will explore the intersections between interreligious dialogue, education, and academic research, fostering discussion on the opportunities and challenges of cooperation between academic and religious institutions worldwide.

This event will bring together Czech Christian and Jewish religious leaders, scholars from European institutions, a delegation from Al-Azhar hosted by the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and representatives of several MENA Embassies who will address contemporary humanitarian challenges—including exclusion, hatred, extremism, terrorism, and war—while promoting the values of shared coexistence, tolerance, and mutual respect.

Through three thematic panels, the conference will examine key questions shaping future collaboration between academia and religious institutions:

  • How religious institutions can benefit from research methodologies and advances in education to enhance interreligious dialogue;
  • How educational curricula may draw upon dialogue initiatives to foster a culture of tolerance among students and researchers;
  • Whether academic research strengthens dialogue initiatives led by religious institutions;
  • What the most prominent existing models of cooperation between academic environments and dialogue initiatives reveal about effective partnership practices.

Join for an afternoon of open, academic dialogue to address contemporary challenges.

Join AAU historians Gerald Power, Bill Eddleston, and Jakub Drabik as they discuss the 250th US anniversary and how to assess the country at this national milestone.

The President of the United States has announced that official celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence ought to “inspire a renewed love for American history.” 

What does that history actually tell us about America? Is it a story of liberty and hope, of hypocrisy and violence, or some very human mixture of these extremes?

Come to learn about history and this topic which has become so polarizing.
